Cycad Focus

One of the consistent components of the Cycad Newsletter since the September 2002 issue (Vol. 25, No. 3) has been the “Cycad Focus” column, in which a different species of cycad is highlighted in each issue. These columns typically feature taxonomical, horticultural, phenological, and other information on the respective ‘target’ species. The concept of targeting individual species in detail actually began long before 2002, however, and was first announced in the May 1981 issue (Vol. 4, No. 2). Originally called “Portrait of a Species,” the first species to be targeted was Bowenia serrulata in the March 1982 issue (Vol. 5, No. 1). TCS will be making these in-depth “Portrait of a Species” and “Cycad Focus” articles available here on our website in an effort to provide quality educational information on cycads to a broader audience.
