Abstract
Encephalartos brevifoliolatus is described from the Northern Province. It resembles E. laevifolius Stapf & Burtt-Davy in having practically identical male cones, slender but rigid and spineless petioles with a whitish felt-like indumentum when young, and relatively narrow and ent ire leaflets which are abaxially finely ribbed. It differs from E. lae vifolius and related species in its conspicuously wider and shorter le aflets with revolute margins.
