In Cycas, the true female cone or ovulate strobilus is absent instead megasporophylls are present which are loosely attached to the stem and they appear like a rosette.

Explanation:

  • Cycas is a dioecious gymnosperm. It exhibits distinct male and female cones that are borne on separate sporophytes.  
  • In Cycas the true as well as compact female cone or ovulate strobilus is absent.
  • Instead of the male cone, there are megasporophylls. Each megasporophyll is a modified foliage leaf.
  • Each megasporophyll bears a proximal petiole, an ovule in the middle and an upper pinnately dissected region.  
  • The middle region bears 2-12 sessile and rounded ovules.  
  • The ovules in Cycas are orthotropous, sessile, unitegmic and have short stalk.
  • The Cycas ovule is the largest in the entire plant kingdom.
