The Macrozamia Miquelli is a very attractive Cycad. It is one of the most primitive and unusual ornamentals. Very easy to grow, it is robust and adaptable. It has rosettes of between 30-80 deep glossy green, flat leaves that are finely feathered growing in a circular pattern. Slow growing and evergreen it thrives both as a pot plant and in the garden.

The males however have numerous cones in the leaf axils. A striking cycad and definitely one for the collectors.
