For one, both male and female cycads are gymnosperms and bear cones (strobili), while palms are angiosperms and so flower and bear fruit. The mature foliage looks very similar between both groups, but the young emerging leaves of a cycad resemble a fiddlehead fern before they unfold and take their place in the rosette, while the leaves of palms ...
The pollen of this cycad is not airborne. Typically, the pollen is transported by a host-specific insect from male to female cones when they are receptive. [6] Pollen of L. peroffskyana is carried by Tranes group weevils. The weevil's life-cycle occurs in the male cones, but many individuals visit female cones during their lives, covered in pollen.

Encephalartos transvenosus is a palm-like cycad in the family Zamiaceae, with a localized distribution in Limpopo, South Africa.Its common names, Modjadji's cycad or Modjadji's palm, [3] allude to the female dynasty of the Lobedu people, the Rain Queens, whose hereditary name is Modjadji.
Encephalartos lehmannii is a low-growing palm-like cycad in the family Zamiaceae.It is commonly known as the Karoo cycad and is endemic to South Africa. [3] The species name lehmannii commemorates Prof J.G.C. Lehmann, a German botanist who studied the cycads and published a book on them in 1834. [3]
The cones are sexually dimorphic: the male cone is a 40 to 50 cm long cylinder that is 7 to 10 cm wide with a peduncle that is up to 2 to 3 cm long; the female cone is 25 to 50 cm long, 20 to 25 cm wide, and sessile. Males can have up to ten cones at one time and females can have up to five cones at one time. [3]
