In this book, the story of Encephalartos woodii, the "most solitary bachelor in the world", follows a trajectory that crosses history, botany, law, conservation practices and other artistic research that, from different perspectives, question the liminal condition of this plant. These investigations have helped to outline the imaginative horizon of the exhibition Il giorno in cui Woodii si svegliò femmina, produced for the Orto Botanico dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo.
