Looks like Cycas rumphii

I think it represents Cycas zeylanica

It is my pleasure to share few images of Cycas rumphii (Cycadaceae)

Abundant in the Andamans with edible seeds.

…, thanks for the info. The Digital Flora of Karnataka says that it is native to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea and it is nearly threatened…!

The occurrence of the plant in the Andamans is a natural extension of range of this Malesian species. It is very common from coastal to inland forests in all the Islands I have visited.

As per Cycads of India, we don’t have this species in India (at least in the wild). We have no accepted postings of this so far on this in efi.

In fact a specimen from PBL was sent to L long back for identification and they identified the same as Cycas rumphii.  Since then we are calling the bulk of the Andamans collections (the commonest species there) as C. rumphii also in use by the local tribes. It is clearly included in the CITIS List as a valid species (http://www.bsienvis.nic.in/CITES/Cycasrumphii.pdf). C. rumphii is indeed sometimes treated as a synonym of C. circinalis but this needs clarification by Cycad experts. The book on the Cycads of India overlooked the species and never mentioned about it. The author probably never visited the Andamans and observed. Fully grown trees are available even at Dhanikhari garden. The species, C. pschannae appears to be dubious. It was described on the basis of a cultivated plant in the AJC Bose IBG, introduced from the Andamans. They observed the plant growing in the Islands but never collected a specimen and cited in the protologue. In my opinion, it is very similar to C. rumphii and may ultimately be united with it.
I take it as Cycas rumphii unless otherwise clarified by the experts on Cycads.
