Encephalartos kisambo is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae.[3] It is known as the Voi cycad.[1]
This species is distributed in the cloud forests of the steep mountain hills at the border of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. Most grow in misty forest habitat, and some grow on drier rock cliffsides. Some subpopulations are threatened by habitat loss to charcoal production and agriculture, and the species is threatened by overcollection.[1]
