What are Hypoestes and Cycad ?
plants
Cycad
Cycads are seed plants with a long fossil history that were formerly more abundant and more diverse than they are today.
 They typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk with a crown of large, hard and stiff, evergreen leaves.
 They usually have pinnate leaves.
 The individual plants are either all male or all female (dioecious).
 Cycads vary in size from having trunks only a few centimeters to several meters tall.
 They typically grow very slowly and live very long, with some specimens known to be as much as 1,000 years old.
 Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for palms or ferns, but they are not closely related to either group.
Hypoestes
Hypoestes is a flowering plant genus with many dozens of species.
 They are widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical lands around the Indian Ocean, and some adjacent regions.
Lepidozamia hopei
Lepidozamia hopei is a species of cycad in the Zamiaceae family.
 Its English common name is Hope's cycad.
 It is endemic to the Australian state of Queensland.
 It is the largest known species of cycad.
 The largest examples have been over 15 m tall and have had a circumference of 1.5 m . Encephalartos chimanimaniensis
The Chimanimani cycad ("Encephalartos chimanimaniensis") is a species of cycad that is endemic to the Chimanimani Mountains of eastern Zimbabwe.
 It is a threatened species which has been locally extirpated by cycad collectors. Encephalartos brevifoliolatus
Encephalartos brevifoliolatus, the escarpment cycad, is a cycad in the African genus "Encephalartos".
 It is extinct in the wild.
 The escarpment cycad is an African plant that was found in South Africa in short grasslands in the very open "Protea" savanna.
 These plants are used to growing on large cliffs. Zamia furfuracea
Zamia furfuracea is a cycad native to southeastern Veracruz state in eastern Mexico.
 Although not a palm tree (Arecaceae), its growth habit is superficially similar to a palm; therefore it is commonly known as cardboard palm or cardboard cycad.
 Other names include cardboard plant, cardboard sago, Jamaican sago and Mexican cycad (from Mexican Spanish "Cícada Mexicana").
 The plant's binomial name comes from the Latin "zamia", for "pine nut", and "furfuracea", meaning "mealy" or "scurfy". Encephalartos manikensis
Encephalartos manikensis (Gorongo Cycad, Gorongowe Cycad) is a species of cycad that is native to Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Encephalartos arenarius
Encephalartos arenarius is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae.
 It is endemic to South Africa, where it is limited to the Eastern Cape.
 Its common names include Alexandria cycad and dune cycad. Encephalartos lehmannii
Encephalartos lehmannii is a low-growing palm-like cycad in the family Zamiaceae.
 It is commonly known as the Karoo cycad and is endemic to South Africa.
 The species name "lehmannii" commemorates Prof J.G.C. Lehmann, a German botanist who studied the cycads and published a book on them in 1834.
 This cycad is listed as near threatened in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Aulacaspis yasumatsui
Aulacaspis yasumatsui, or cycad aulacaspis scale (CAS), is a scale insect species in the genus "Aulacaspis" that feeds on cycad species such as "Cycas revoluta" or "Dioon purpusii" (Purpus' cycad).
 Other common names include the cycad scale, the sago palm scale, and the Asian cycad scale.
 This is a serious pest of cycads which can kill its host plant.
