Subject: question

Several weeks ago there was a fascinating if not downright romantic
article in the New York Times Magazine about cycads and the black market
they have created.  The article (August 28, 2005; pg. 32, top of second
column) stated they contain the largest sperm cells of any living
creature.  (Notice it didn't say plant.)

Is this true?  I don't remember coming across this fact in Jones' book,
which is about the only one I use.

Best Regards,
Lucinda
