  Plant Systematics: Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae
The Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae are families of the Cycadophyta with a primarily tropical/subtropical distribution.
The Cycadaceae are composed of only a single genus, Cycas,with about 20 species, whereas the Zamiaceae are composed of around 8 genera and approximately 110 species.
The Cycadaceae are thought to be the oldest extant lineage of cycads and apparently are the sister group to all other cycads.

The Cycadaceae are woody, unbranched or sparsely branched, palmlike, dioecious, seed-bearing trees or shrubs with thick, pithy stems.
The leaves are alternate, spirally arranged in a cluster at the summit of the stem, frondlike, pinnately compound, usually stiff, often with sharply pointed leaflets that have a single midvein (without laterals) and exhibit circinnate vernation.
Though not visible here, each scale has many microsporangia scattered over the lower surface.
