Field Notes

Habitat:

growing in limestone at the entrance to a huge cave

Notes:

Spotted a small forest of these cycads at the entrance to a bat cave in Phu Hin Bun national protected area in central Laos near Tha Khaek. It was an 18km walk to the cave from the nearest small village.
Check out the extremely swollen base on the third photo. Not sure of the exact species.
