This plant is Cycas. It looks similar to a palm tree. These trees are very rare in number. However, they are available for sale in nearby plant nurseries. It grows very slowly. So the plant is costly to buy.
Cycas is a gymnosperm. The gymnosperms are the plants in which ovules are not enclosed by an ovary wall. After fertilisation the seeds remain exposed and therefore these plants are called naked-seeded plants. The gymnosperms produce microspores and megaspores which are produced in microsporangia and megasporangia borne on the sporophylls.
