This species is native to New South Whales, Ausstralia. It is a green cycad with thin leaflets. Leaves emerge upwards but arch downwards with age. Trunks are usually under a foot or two and they have a fairly large subterranean caudex. New leaves emerge a more bright green and then, with age, get to be a more dull darket green. Figure mature height of 8 feet or a bit more. This species wants full coastal sun and is cold hardy into the lower 20’s F. and possibly even into the uper teens.
