===Description:=== A low growing cycad, however older specimens will develop a trunk about 200 mm (9 ins) across, and up to 6 metres (6 feet) high, for a VERY (several centuries) old, plant. Usually single trunked, although it is not uncommon for a plant to through "pups", offshoots which can be removed and potted up. It has feather like leaves, up to 900 mm (36 ins) long, with the leaflets being a very dark glossy green, stiff and pointed, and about 100 mm (4 ins) long. The female inflorescense is feather like, later forming a tightly packed seed head, closely covered by whitish miniature leaves. The male cone is pineapple shaped. Seeds are brownish-red, the shape of a flattened marble, about 30 mm( 1.25 ins) across.
