Linnaeus described the genus Cycas with the lone species C. circinalis L. from India, which was based on Rheede’s, Hortus malabaricus. Roxburgh included three species, viz. C. circinalis Willd., C. revoluta Thunb. and C. sphaerica Roxb. All three were reportedly introduced in the Botanical Garden, Howrah during 1798–99 from different countries (C. circinalis, Indonesia; C. sphaerica, Moluccas and C. revoluta cultivated in West Bengal gardens).
