===Cones: === In the dense stands on the south coast, multiple female cones are much more numerous than single cones and plants with 2-3 cones are normal, while plants with 4 or more cones are not uncommon. At maturity, female cones measure up to 40 cm long and 18 cm in diameter, weigh approximately 5 kg and contain approximately 150 seeds. ''M. communis'' seeds measure up to 3.5 cm in length and 2.2 cm in diameter. The sporophylls on female cones are heavily spined, with an elongated spine measuring up to 7 cm long on those sporophylls which are located toward the apical section of the cones. Male plants normally produce more cones than female plants and up to 10 male cones on a plant have been recorded, though the norm is in the 3 to 5 range. Male cones measure up to approximately 40 cm long and 12 cm in diameter and are also spined, with spines measuring up to 5 cm on the apical section of the cones.
