Macrozamia communis - Burrawang - 15 - 25 cm plant

For its gracefulness and ease of cultivation, this species from forests in eastern New South Wales, Australia, is undoubtedly the most popular of the Macrozamia. It forms a dense, rounded crown of dark green, feathery fronds and a thick, short trunk with age. This cycad thrives in shade or full sun and in subtropical as well as temperate regions, where it can resist considerable exposure to frost.
