The cycad family. Only one genus, Cycas, with approx. 113 species. Cycads have an ancient lineage; they are leftover from the Jurassic period, and native only to the Old World tropics. They generally live a long time, sometimes over 1,000 years. The best collections of cycads I have ever seen, which is one of the best in the world, is at Lotusland in Santa Barbara, CA (above).
