===Comment: === Despite being small, ''M. fawcettii'' is a very attractive cycad, principally due to its broad, glossy pinnae. With age, the pinnae on new fronds undergo a colour transformation and change from an initially bronze (or sometimes light green) to a dark green colour. As the fronds age, they sometimes become unsightly due to damage from leaf-rolling insects. Unlike ''[[Macrozamia diplomera]]'' caudices, which can have a 1.5 metre long whipcord-like tap root, the caudices of ''M. fawcettii'' sometimes do not have a root system at all as they seem to rot away at the point where they (possibly) encounter a water-table which is relatively close to ground level.
