We have decided that it is actially an Macrozamia MacDonallii which is as good if not better than an E. Lehmanii

Re: is this Encephalartos Lehmannii?
Just looking at Palmbob(Geoff our moderators) Daves garden Photos shows the Macrozamia having much tomentose at the base of leaves while the E.lehmannii has little to none. Now,what you have is a near seedling so that could be the cause of that.

Re: is this Encephalartos Lehmannii?
Anybody who owns a nursery would know how valuable cycads are and to get a rare one mistaken for one as common but as the still beautiful E.lehmannii, is a stretch.
When people on the internet- thousands at least- post what is it? Usually it turns out to be the most likely plant and super rarely a rare plant instead.
Just something to look for as it grows. I could be wrong.
