Beddome’s Cycas
Cycas beddomei
Cycas beddomei is a cycad species native to India, particularly found in the Tirumala hills. While traditional uses for this plant are not documented, it has been included in a database named DEPTH that compiles information on endemic plants from the region and their potential medicinal properties. Scientific studies have isolated new compounds, including a biflavonoid and two previously unreported substances, from its cones, and identified 146 medicinal species used by Malayali tribes to enhance general human health. The stem of Cycas beddomei contains a new biflavanone, 7,7"-di-O-methyltetrahydrohinokiflavone, along with tetrahydrohinokiflavone. As of now, no significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
