Cycads are the most primitive living seed-bearing plants known to mankind, and belongs to an ancient order, the Cycadales, which flourished in the Carboniferous period 80 to 150 million years ago. This was the period when Dinosaurs roamed the wold. (Think of the film Jurasic Park). The Cycads we know today have changed little in their basic character and could be described "Living plant fossils".
