Description:

It is one of the ancient "living fossils" left over after many major changes on the earth. It has been around for more than 140 million years. The precious wild Cycas taitungensis has been decimated rapidly due to frequent deforestation and pirate harvesting. At present, it is very rare in the wild. Photo taken in campus of National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan.
