===Description:=== This is said to be the tallest growing of all cycads, specimens having been observed up to 20 metres (60 feet) high. It has a relatively slender at about 300 mm (12 ins) across, and while usually single stemmed, multi-stemmed individuals aren't unknown. It has long, arching, pinnate leaves, up to 3 metres (10 feet) long, with glossy green leaflets, 150-300 mm (6-12 inches) long, and up to 30 mm (1.25 in) wide. It is very similar in appearance to its more commonly grown sibling, ''[[Lepidozamia peroffskyana]]'', but it is a much taller and larger plant in general. Spent leaves persist but are easily removed. The male cones are about 600 mm (2 feet) long, female cones up to 800 mm (2.5 feet) long, and producing bright red oval seeds, 50 mm (2 in) long.
