Hemlock fruit, alias "Phoenix Egg", is poisonous. Although a small amount of traditional Chinese medicine can be added, it has the effects of diminishing inflammation, stopping bleeding, relieving cough and eliminating phlegm, but it cannot be eaten directly.

Cycas cycad, the scientific name of Cycas cycad, is the most primitive seed plant on the earth. Because its tree age can reach 200 years, it has the reputation of "giant panda" and "living fossil" in the plant world. Usually, Cycas with the age of 15 to 20 years can only bloom once every few years. In addition, artificial pollination technology is immature and difficult to bear fruit.

Hemlock fruit is ovoid or broadly obovoid, with a sharp tip, yellow-brown or light brown when ripe, hard, smooth and shiny seed coat, about 2-3 cm long, with a diameter of 1.8-2.5 cm.
