Cycad frond plants are seed plants with a very long fossil history that were formerly more diverse than they are today. They typically have a stout and woody trunk with a crown of large, hard and stiff leaves.
Special coralloid roots host photosynthetic bacteria that caputured nitrogen from air. This root produces a potent neurotoxin.

Christina, the cycad frond plant replica, goes for a ride in a submarine with the Navy. It is so fun looking out the portholes.
