Monday 26 February 2018

In containers or planted under Cedrus (cedar) trees in the palace gardens Cycas revoluta (cycad, Japanese sago palm) was a feature plant of the Alcázar of Seville, Spain. This evergreen dioecious perennial produces a stout woody trunk with large, leathery, pinnate leaves in a terminal rosette. The male inflorescences are large and cone-like whilst the female ones consist of smaller, modified leaves.
