Ocean currents play a significant role in driving the long‐distance dispersal (LDD), spatial distribution and phylogeographic patterns of many organisms. Integrating phylogeographic analyses and mechanistic ocean current modelling can provide novel insights into the evolutionary history of terrestrial littoral species but has been rarely applied in this context.We focused on a group ofCycasthat have buoyant seeds and occupy coastal habitats. By integrating evidence from mechanistic simulations and whole plastomic data, we examined the role of ocean circulation in shaping the phylogeography of theseCycasspecies.Plastomes of the studiedCycasspecies showed extreme conservatism, following a post‐Pleistocene divergence. Phylogenies revealed three subclades, corresponding to the Pacific Ocean, Sunda Shelf and Indian Ocean. The ocean modelling results indicate that hotspots of seed stranding coincide well with the contemporary distribution of theCycasspecies and that drifting trajectories from the three subclades are largely confined to separate regions.These findings suggest that ocean current systems, by driving long‐distance dispersal, have shaped the distribution and phylogeography forCycaswith buoyant seeds. This study highlights how the combination of genomic data and ocean drift modelling can help explain phylogeographic patterns and diversity in terrestrial littoral ecosystems.
