Editing Macrozamia johnsonii (section)

===Cones: ===
Female ''M. johnsonii'' cones are the largest of any New South Wales Macrozamia species and can grow up to 65 cm in length and up to 20 cm in diameter. Female plants can have up to 6 cones, with 3 or 4 cones being common. A mature cone can weigh up to 12-14 kilograms and can contain in excess of 200 seeds.
The cones are heavily spined, with an elongated spine measuring up to 6-7 cm long. These cone spines combined with sharply-pointed pinnae and the spine-like appendages on the lower sections of the rhachises make the collection of seeds from cones sitting in the crown of a plant a very hazardous occupation.
Male cones, like female cones, are large and can grow to 40 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter; they are also spined, with the spines measuring up to 5 cm long. Male plants can have up to 10, or more, cones
