Cycas revoluta

This is one of the most common cycads, also known as Sago Palm although it isn't a palm.
The new leaves sprout from the center as you can see.
When they flower, it is a spectacular cone that also sprouts from its center.
You need a male and a female plant to get cross fertilization. The male and females both put out cones.
