The Cycas Revoluta (Cycas revoluta), universally known as the Sago Palm or King Sago, is a living fossil of the plant world belonging to the ancient Cycadaceae family. Despite its palm-like appearance and common name, it is not a true palm tree at all; it is a gymnosperm, more closely related to conifers and pine trees, dating back over 200 million years to the Mesozoic era.
