Macrozamia concinna
open-in-new
<p><i>Macrozamia concinna</i> is a part of the <a href="/facts/Plant/X5BMDMvS">plant</a> family, <a href="/facts/Zamiaceae/gIg5Uho6">Zamiaceae</a>. It originates from a division of <a href="/facts/Cycadophyta/Kc2JDExr">Cycadophyta</a> which encompasses the complete species of <a href="/facts/Cycad/Kc2JDExr">cycads</a>. <i>M. concinna</i> is primarily habituated in <a href="/facts/New_South_Wales/aW7eJXSS">New South Wales</a>, <a href="/facts/Australia/qLHpbppq">Australia</a> and maintains a distinct appearance allowing it to be easily identifiable from other cycads. <i>M. concinna</i> also implements a unique method of reproduction to fertilise its offsprings, as opposed to the common method of wind pollination. This difference in reproduction mechanisms has survived throughout the ages of prehistoric cycad species and <i>M. concinna</i> continues to procreate with it. </p><p>The population of <i>M. concinna</i> is under threat from habitat loss associated with urbanisation, potential reproduction failure and loss to fire. </p>
