Vroulike plante dra 1-5 geronde keëls, elk 25-50 cm hoog en 20-40 cm in deursnit, wat sessiel (stamloos) uit die plant groei. Manlike plante dra 1-6 silindriese keëls per kroon.

English: A Maputaland cycad, native to Sth. Africa and Mozambique. Location: Mt. Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, Brisbane, Australia. The male and female cones are borne on separate plants and while both colourful, are quite different from each other otherwise. The female plants bear 1-5 ovoid cones, each 25-50 cm tall and 20-40cm in diameter. The female cones are sessile on the plant (i.e. they have no stem). The male plants however bear 1-6 cylindrical cones per crown. These are longer (40-50cm) and much narrower (only 8-10cm in diameter) and not as bright. The male cones are held on short stems up to 3cm long.
