Notes: Abstract This paper reports the first case of ex situ pollination and multiplication of the Central African giant cycad Encephalartos laurentianus De Wild. (Zamiaceae, Cycadales), a rare and endangered species cultivated at the National Botanical Gardens of Meise, Belgium. A brief description of the discovery, distribution and morphology of the species is given; artificial pollination and seed germination techniques are described. About 160 seeds were produced by each of the two pollinated female cones. While most seeds were stored in order to use them for exchanges, ten seeds were sown; germinability was 60%.
