Cycads Cycads are an ancient group of seed plants with a crown of large compound leaves and a stout trunk. They are a minor component of the flora in tropical and subtropical regions today, but during the Jurassic Period, they were a common sight in many parts of the world. For this reason, the Jurassic is often referred to as the "Age of Cycads". Cycas Revoluta Excerpt from www.ucmp.berkeley.edu Photo : Courtesy of www.ucmp.berkeley.edu |
