Cycas belongs to order cycadales of gymnosperms. Cycas is dioecious i.e., male cone and female cone are borne on separate plants. Each microsporophyll of male cone bears many microsporangia in its adaxial surface. The female cone has loosely arranged megasporophylls, each of which bears ovule in the middle part.
