Encephalartos altensteinii () description The specimen at Kew Gardens, UK, is claimed to be the world's oldest pot plant: "Collected by Kew's first plant-hunter, Francis Masson, it left the shores of the Eastern Cape in South Africa in 1773 and endured a long ocean voyage before finally arriving at Kew in 1775 ... It was one of the first plants to be moved into the palm house in 1848," where it still resides [C.J. Earle, 2010.06.14].
