macrozamia

Cycad genera either diversified in the Palaeogene (66-23 MYA), and had two diversification rate shifts, or during the Neogene (23-2.6 MYA), with four rate shifts accounting for each of the four richest genera: Cyacas, Zamia, Encephalartos and Macrozamia (Condamine et al., 2015).

Another burning question: HunterGatherer exploitation of Macrozamia spp.

The understorey was very sparse and comprised scattered Narrow-leafed Geebung Persoonia linearis, Burrawang Macrozamia communis, Willow-leaved Hakea Hakea salicifolia and Hairpin Banksia Banksia spinulosa.

Acacia and other leguminous shrubs and forbs, Casuarina, Macrozamia and lichens) and non-symbiotic associations (Gupta et al.

To further reveal the conservation of TAS3-like loci in lower seed plants, we performed PCR amplification of total DNA from Cycadophyta (Cycas revoluta, Strangeria eriupus, Zamia pumila, and Macrozamia miqnolii) using dicot-specific primers P-Tas3, M-Tas3/caa, and M-Tas3/aca [23].

Geographic variation in reproductive behaviour and size structure of the Australian cycad, Macrozamia communis (Zamiaceae).

The volume is rounded out with another excellent contribution by Asmussen in a series of articles on Cycad and Macrozamia use, this time using the historical record to tease apart the differences in processing and use of seeds between Bowenia, Cycas, Lepidozamia and Macrozamia.

Abstract: In 2007 Bonta and Osborne published "Cycads in the vernacular: A compendium of local names" in which they concluded that, in contrast to other cycads around the world, very few names and meanings had been documented for Australian Macrozamia species.
