Cycas plants, often called sago palms, are perennial, evergreen trees that resemble palm trees. They are known for their large, pinnately compound leaves that grow in a crown from a thick, often underground, trunk. Cycas are dioecious, meaning male and female reproductive structures are on separate plants. They are also characterized by having naked seeds, meaning the ovules are not enclosed within an ovary.
