Fossil records show that the cycads originated the lower Permian, about 270 to 280 million years ago, it is much earlier than the Dinosaurs Age. Cycads have also been considerd the "missing link" as they exhibit characteristics intermediate between vascular nonseed plants and the more derive seed plants.

The cycad species are commonly found in the tropical and subtropical areas around the world particularly in IndoChina, Japan, Southeast Asia, Micronesia, Polynesia, Australia, Madagascar, East Africa and the Malaysian region where the Philippines is a part of. In the horticultural trade, Cycads are comonly referred to as the "Sago Palm". The Palms characteristics has a single trunk which sometimes branches out with little woody tissue.
