Cycas macrocarpa Griff. Cycadaceae. CN: [Malay - vernacular names generic to most Cycas, Paku gunung, Bogak]. A dioecious primitive gymnosperm claimed a living fossil. Tree to 12 m tall. Habitat - lowland forest, also on limestone. A widely scattered species, not forming dense stands. Distribution - peninsular Thailand, as well as in northern and central peninsular Malaysia. In Thailand plants occur near the Malaysian border, with disjunct occurrences in Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the northern peninsula. This species is more common in Malaysia. Due to extensive habitat destruction the species is classified as vulnerable by IUCN and regulated by CITES.

Griff Hollows is an idyllic little place hidden away right next to a main road and suburban houses on the edge of Nuneaton. The natural wooded hollow with a brook running through it is full of native bluebells in springtime. The novelist George Eliot grew up near here and it appears in 'The Mill on the Floss' as 'Red Deeps' where the characters Maggie and Philip meet in secret.
Friday morning a bulldog dressed as a rainbow fish walked into a library full of woodchucks. Imaginations were running wild at Greenwood Elementary School as Drake University's Associate Director of Marketing, Erin Bell, and Griff read The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister to a group of young learners in the library. Greenwood was just one of the eight DMPS elementary schools on the visiting list for the bulldog tour. After the reading, each student had a chance to pet Griff on the way to their next class.

Another surprising discovery
George Eliot herself was the inspiration for Maggie Tulliver, and Isaac Evans, her brother, was the inspiration for Tom Tulliver in The Mill on the Floss. Griff Hollows was their childhood playground, and it is where Maggie and Tom go to fish in the novel. (Griff, a spacious two-story red brick farmhouse, was Eliot's childhood home from 1820-1841.)
The Red Deeps in The Mill on the Floss are based on Griff Hollows, which is the area between Griff and Nuneaton. It is where Maggie Tulliver had secret meetings with Philip Wakem.
