Macrozamia riedlei Zamia Palm
Captured on Nikon D300 = Nikon 105mm Macro
HDR single RAW file, Hand-held, Processed in Photomatix.
Tweaked in Aperture Capture NX 2
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.
Early explorers who tried eaten them were poisoned.
M. riedlei can be up to 3 m tall and grows from around Perth southwards into the south west corner of Western Australia.
