Bread Palm ( Cycas rumphii )

Cycad, evergreen
Height : 1.5m to 7m included
Origin : Moluccan Islands
Environment : coastal forests, below 200 m altitude, on
sandy, calcareous soils
Climate : warm and humid

Notes :
This very ancient Cycad grows with a thick, palm-like stem and little or no branching, and is commonly called (together with other similar species) Bread Palm because of the bread-like foodstuff that the indigenous populations used to prepare from the mealy, starchy centre of the stem. The seeds of Cycas rumphii are covered with a spongy material that allows them to float; this characteristic allowed this species to propagate itself through many thousands of miles over the South Pacific.
