Macrozamia riedlei Zamia Palm Endemic
This plant is actually a Cycad not a Palm and it normally "flowers" from September until November. This was the only one with cones amongst the many plants which I found in this reserve. The cones can be eaten but not raw and early explorers who tried were poisoned.
Macrozamia riedlei can be up to 3m tall and grows from around Perth southwards into the south west corner of Western Australia.
