This member of the
Cycadaceae family was described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1782. It is found
in Japan, growing in drained soil with some water and lots of sun.
The caudex will slowly evolve to a 30 centimetre thick stem, 2,5
meters high. Both the male and the female cones are brown, and
besides seeds it can be reproduced by offsets.
