Macrozamia lucida

This specie is found in Southern Queensland, from around Brisbane north to Nambour, in coastal wet sclerophyll forest.

Placed in section Parazamia, Macrozamia lucida is certainly one of the 'thicket' species observed by Profesor Chamberlain early in this century. Queensland botanists have often applied the name M. spiralis to this plant, but of all the times this misnomer has been used it does not fit M. lucida as there is very little twist in the rachis of the mature frond. Known by local farmers as the 'pineapple Zamia', there seems to be only brief reference to its toxicity to cattle. More
