Cycasin and macrozamin, the main methylazoxymethanol glycosides, found in cycads, have been analysed in seeds of representative species of all 10 genera of this group. Macrozamin concentration is taxonomically significant at the generic level. The taxonomic and evolutionary significance of the results is discussed.
