Cycas zeylanica, common name (in Sri Lanka) maha-madu is a plant apparently at present endemic to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It was formerly also present in Sri Lanka, but the last remnants of the populations there were destroyed by the tsunami of December 2004.[1][3] A few trees are cited in Hanguranketha town Adikarigama area.
