Cycas angulata

Synonyms: Cycas maconochiei

Wikipedia Abstract

Cycas angulata is a species of cycad in the genus Cycas, native to Australia in northeast Northern Territory (lower reaches of the Foelsche, Robinson and Wearyan Rivers near Borroloola) and northwest Queensland (Bountiful Islands). The female cones are open type sporophylls 25–50 cm long, brown, each with 6-12 ovules each. The lamina is triangular ending in a sharp narrow spine. The male cones are solitary, erect, 20–25 cm long and 12–15 cm diameter. The name derives from the Latin angulatus, which translates as "angular", referring to the leaflet arrangement on the leaf petiole.
