Editing Lepidozamia peroffskyana (section)

===Trunks: ===
This cycad normally has an unbranched trunk, though in some stands it is not uncommon to
find multi-headed plants or plants with branched trunks, with some plants having as many as 5 separate
trunks (Figures 1&3). This tendency for plants to branch occurs frequently in some
stands, but in other disjunct stands it is rare to find plants with branched trunks.
The tallest ''L. peroffskyana'' plant that I have seen growing in New South Wales (Figure 3)
was a plant that branched approximately 1.8 metres above ground level into 2 separate trunks
that were, respectively, an estimated 3.1 and 3.3 metres in length thus attaining a maximum height of a
little over 5 metres.
The trunks and crowns of ''L. peroffskyana'' are often host to epiphytic plants such as
''Platycerium bifurcatum'' (elkhorn), ''Asplenium australasicum'' (bird's-nest fern) and
''Davallia sp.'' (hare's-foot ferns).
