Found in open grasslands, to dense forests. ===Description:=== A medium sized suckering cycad to about 5m, with bright green, glossy leaves. ===General:=== This was one of the first cycads named, and is the type specimen for ''Cycas''. It was described in 1658, from material collected on the Malabar coast, in south-west India. Its seeds float, which accounts for its very widespread distribution. ===Culture:=== Prefers a warm, sunny position with plenty of water in summer, and a dryish winter. <div class="row" style="text-align:center;"> [[File:Cycas_circinalis02.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
