Pankaj ji,

Thanks for your feedback.

Cycas circinalis is a Syn of Cycas rumphii.

That was my understanding as in FOI.

Please correct me if wrong.

Regards,

Aarti

Cycas rumphii is a distinct species not synonym of Cycas circinalis. I
have seen both plants. They look different even in vegetative.
