Also known as the Sago palm, Cycas revoluta is also believed to have been the original palm associated with Palm Sunday. Each of the feathery bracts top centre will carry a reddish orange seed about the size of a small marble/malteser. I have a photo somewhere from my Kew days, Will try and locate. Dioon 11

Wow, this I've never seen. Was it cut off, or do the females grow like this?
