''Encephalartos ferox'', a member of the family Zamiaceae, is a small cycad with 35 cm wide subterranean trunk. It gets its name from the Latin word ferocious, likely from the spine-tipped lobes on the leaves of the plant.〔Norstog, Knut J., and Trevor J. Nicholls. The Biology of the Cycads. New York : Cornell University Press, 1997.〕 It is found naturally on the south-eastern coast of Africa where it has been used by local people for its starch content.〔Jones, David L. Cycads of the World. Australia: Reed Books, 1993.〕 It is considered to be one of the most popular cultivated cycads.〔 == Naming ==
The species was first described in 1851 when material was collected from Mozambique. After looking at material found in Natal, South Africa, it was redescribed as ''E. kosiensis Hutchinson''. After looking more carefully at the material, the original name was kept, and the redescribed name was no longer used.〔
