Editing Macrozamia montana (section)

===Cones:===
Female plants normally have either one or two cones, ranging up to 28 cm in length and 16 cm in diameter. Individual sporophylls are slightly longer and wider than those on ''M. communis'' cones. The sporophyll-spines on female cones are elongated. Mature female cones are sometimes found in a procumbent position. Male plants can have up to 4 cones.
One interesting observation concerning female cones on most Macrozamia species is that marsupial animals start to remove and eat the flesh off seeds as soon as the cones commence to disintegrate " whereas on ''M. montana'' they sometimes remove the sporophylls from the basal section of the cones (that have not commenced to disintegrate) and then eat the flesh off the exposed parts of the seeds.
