    I am interested in growing some plants that are concidered " dinsoaur plants" ( plants that have remained virtualy unchanged or only slightly changed for millions of years). The obvious is cycads and monkey puzzle trees. I also know that some species of palms fall into this catagory. IF anyone on here cna give me some names it would help.

    thanks

    Some people call Gunnera Dinosaur plants....I don't think they have necessarily been around that long though.
