Cycas guizhouensis is a species of cycad endemic to southwestern China.
Distribution[edit]
It is found in Nanpan and Qingshui valleys in southwestern Guizhou province (including Xingyi) and also in eastern Yunnan and northwestern Guangxi provinces (including Xilin County and Leye County).[2] In Xingyi, Guizhou, specimens were collected from Wantun Village 万屯村. It was used as a famine food by local ethnic minorities during the Cultural Revolution.[3]
Wild populations are very small, with fewer than 50 individuals per population.[4]
