Macrozamia
''Macrozamia'' is a genus of around forty species of cycads, family Zamiaceae, all of which are endemic to Australia. Many parts of the plant have been utilised for food and material, most of which is toxic if not processed correctly. Description A genus of cycads with partially submerged bole or tree, small to medium height, bearing a crown of palm-like fronds. The dioecious plants bear large cones, becoming even larger when ripening on the female, containing reproductive parts of great size. Distribution The greatest diversity of species occurs in eastern Australia, in southeast Queensland and New South Wales, with one species in the Macdonnell Ranges of Northern Territory and three in the southwest region of Australia. Taxonomy The first description of the genus was published in 1842 by Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel (24 October 1811 – 23 January 1871) was a Dutch botanist, whose main focus of study was on the flora of the Dutch Eas ...

Macrozamia Concinna
''Macrozamia concinna'' is a part of the plant family, Zamiaceae. It originates from a division of Cycadophyta which encompasses the complete species of cycads. ''M. concinna'' is primarily habituated in New South Wales, Australia and maintains a distinct appearance allowing it to be easily identifiable from other cycads. ''M. concinna'' also implements a unique method of reproduction to fertilise its offsprings, as opposed to the common method of wind pollination. This difference in reproduction mechanisms has survived throughout the ages of prehistoric cycad species and ''M. concinna'' continues to procreate with it. The population of ''M. concinna'' is under threat from habitat loss associated with urbanisation, potential reproduction failure and loss to fire. Etymology ''M. concinna'' was named in 1988 by D.L. Jones, classifying the plant after its prim and proper appearance, where it was finally recognised as its own separate species. Prior to its unique classification, ...

Macrozamia Riedlei
''Macrozamia riedlei'', commonly known as a zamia or zamia palm, is a species of cycad in the plant family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to southwest Australia and often occurs in jarrah forests. It may only attain a height of half a metre or form an above trunk up to two metres with long arching fronds of a similar length. The giant cones amidst the crown of palm-like fronds contain edible seeds surrounded by red sarcotesta. The seeds are consumed by birds and animals, and can be a favoured part of the human diet when prepared correctly. ''M. riedlei'' benefits from a close association with bacteria that fix nitrogen, which also produce substances found throughout the plant that are toxic to some animals when consumed. The species is cultivated for ornamental use in urban and domestic environments. Description ''Macrozamia riedlei'' grows as a tree or trunkless low growing cycad (but is usually trunkless) attaining a height between . Between 12 and 30 glossy mid- to dark-green leaves ...

Macrozamia Communis
''Macrozamia communis'' is an Australian cycad found on the east coast of New South Wales. The common name for the species is burrawang, a word derived from the Daruk Australian Aboriginal language; this name is also often applied to other species of ''Macrozamia''. The burrawang has the most extensive distribution of any cycad in New South Wales and is found along the coast from the district around Armidale, New South Wales to Bega 700 km south and on the coastal slopes of the Great Dividing Range with some instances on the inland slopes of the range; as far west as the Mudgee district. It is most abundant on the south coast of the state. The plants grow in open forests. Seed cones are formed after fire. Male and female seed cones are on separate plants and the large female seeds are ripe when red or yellow. Individual specimens take 10–20 years to mature and may live for up to 120 years. Seedlings of ''Macrozamia communis'' have a tuber and coralloid roots that r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Macrozamia Dyeri
''Macrozamia dyeri'', known as ''djeeri'', is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia, occurring near Esperance. The seeds are consumable when prepared correctly and were an important resource to people of the region, but the plant is otherwise toxic to many species. Taxonomy First described in 1885 by Ferdinand von Mueller as ''Encephalartos dyeri'' (''Macrozamia dyeri''), the current combination as a species of the Australian genus ''Macrozamia'' was published by Charles Gardner in 1930. The species name honors W. Thiselton Dyer, then Assistant Director of Kew Garden. The similar but differently pronounced word ''djeeri'' (recorded as ''Dji-ri-ji'' 'Zamia' by Symons) is a name for Macrozamia in the Nyungar language. Description A cycad with a large above ground trunk, taking the form of a tree. The foliage is deeply keeled with wide leaflets, and the reproductive cones are narrow and extended.

Cycad
Cycads are seed plants that typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk (botany), trunk with a crown (botany), crown of large, hard, stiff, evergreen and (usually) pinnate leaves. The species are dioecious, that is, individual plants of a species are either male or female. Cycads vary in size from having trunks only a few centimeters to several meters tall. They typically grow very slowly and live very long. Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for Arecaceae, palms or ferns, but they are not closely related to either group. Cycads are gymnosperms (naked-seeded), meaning their fertilization, unfertilized seeds are open to the air to be directly fertilized by pollination, as contrasted with angiosperms, which have enclosed seeds with more complex fertilization arrangements. Cycads have very specialized pollinators, usually a specific species of beetle. Both male and female cycads bear cones (strobilus, strobili), somewhat similar to conife ...
