“Cycas” refers to a genus of seed plants in the family Cycadaceae, which are commonly known as cycads. These plants are characterized by their large, palm-like leaves and can be found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. Cycas species are ancient plants that have existed for millions of years and are often referred to as “living fossils.” They are typically evergreen and have a stout, columnar trunk with a crown of leaves at the top. The genus includes species that are valued for their ornamental use in landscaping as well as their unique reproductive structures.
