Cycas rumphii, also known as queen sago or queen sago palm, is a dioecious gymnosperm native to Indonesia, New Guinea, and Christmas Island. It is often mistaken for a palm due to its appearance, but it is actually a cycad. The name "queen sago" comes from its use as a source of edible starch and its resemblance to the related Cycas revoluta, known as "king sago." The species is named after the Dutch naturalist Georg Eberhard Rumphius. It is a small tree with grey, fissured bark and bright green, glossy, palm-like fronds. The male plant produces an orange, foul-smelling cone, while the female plant has fleshy, hairy leaves and produces orange-red seeds. It is found in tropical forests and woodlands on calcareous soils, and is also cultivated in Fiji and Vanuatu. C. rumphii is part of a species complex that includes C. circinalis and C. thouarsii. The trunk of the cycad can be used to make sago, but the seeds contain a toxic compound that must be treated before they are edible. The species is considered near threatened due to habitat loss and a
