Definition
A genus of cycad plants native to Africa, sometimes called bread palms, whose starch-rich seeds were historically used as food.
Etymology
From Greek enkephalos (brain) + artos (bread), named because the plant's starchy seeds resemble a brain in appearance.
Kelly Says
Ancient Greeks named a plant 'brain-bread' because its seeds looked like brains to them—this shows how humans use visual comparisons to name things in nature, and some Cycads are now critically endangered!
