A document of 'Cycas in India' can be downloaded from - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/fAAiOFfD_Dg Another, 'The genus Cycas (cycadaceae) in Indonesia' can be downloaded from http://www.cycad.org/documents/descriptions/Cycas/Cycas-montana.pdf
Both the above files document *Cycas rumphii*, *C. edentata* (previously *C. rumphii*, syn. *C. litoralis*), *C. sphaerica* Roxb., in addition to other species. KEYs are given along with illustrations & descriptions of megasporophylls. After going through those two docs. I think it is not *C. zeylanica*, where leaflets are widely spaced. For its narrower falcate leaflets, megasporophyll without lateral spine & longer apical spine (14-40 mm against 10-25 mm) I think it is *C. edentata* de Laub. I think the pictures of petiolar spine, cataphylls, megasporophylls in this thread look similar to - - http://www.virboga.de/Cycas_edentata.htm - http://www.phytoimages.siu.edu/cgi-bin/dol/dol_terminal.pl?taxon_name=Cycas_edentata&rank=binomial - http://www.cykasy.cz/Atlas/Cycas_edentata.html - http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/cycadpg?taxname=Cycas+litoralis The problem is that the above documents inform Cal. Bot. did cultivate *C. rumphii*. I do not know if Cal. Bot. also has *C. edentata* de Laub. I hope i haven't made any grave mistake.
