Macrozamia dyeri is a palm-like plant (but not a palm) with a short stout trunk above ground, reaching a diameter of 1 metre or more, dull blueish-green leaves up to 2m long with broad leaflets, each leaflet with a distinct "keel". Cones are long, narrow, male and female cones are borne on separate plants. Cone production is probably stimulated by fire. Found only in South-western Australia, from Monglinup River east to Israelite Bay. Locally abundant in coastal shrublands and heaths on deep beach sand deposits. <br /> Family: Zamiaceae &nbsp; Genus: Macrozamia &nbsp; Species: dyeri &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Other<br />Member - John and ValMon, 19 May 2014 07:39:00 GMT
