Cycas revoluta

Cycas revoluta is commonly known as the Sago Palm or Japanese Sago Palm, showcases a unique, prehistoric elegance despite not being a true palm. This slow-growing cycad forms a symmetrical crown of stiff, dark green, feather-like leaves atop a rugged, shaggy trunk 

The sago plant develops a compact, pineapple-like base in young plants, which gradually lengthens into an upright trunk over many years. 

Gardeners widely cultivate it as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical landscapes, and it adapts well as a popular houseplant in cooler climates due to its low-maintenance nature. While it resembles a palm, its unique reproductive structures—male plants produce upright pollen cones, and female plants bear seed-bearing structures— distinguish it as an ancient lineage of plants.
