Editing Macrozamia glaucophylla (section)

===Affinities: ===
In respect of New South Wales cycads, prior to
the 1998 revision of the ''M. heteromera'' complex by David Jones, there were only three named species
with divided pinnae ''M. heteromera'' and ''M. stenomera'' (which are Section ''Parazamia'' cycads) and
''M. diplomera'' (which is a Section ''Macrozamia'' cycad).
Two new Section ''Parazamia'' cycads, with divided pinnae, were subsequently named by David Jones
''M. glaucophylla'' and ''M. polymorpha''.  ''M. glaucophylla'' normally has divided pinnae
on most of its fronds, whereas ''M. polymorpha'' generally has fronds with entire pinnae,
but fronds with a combination of divided and entire pinnae are not uncommon.
On an affinity basis ''M. glaucophylla'' is related to both ''M. stenomera'' and ''M. heteromera''.
Disregarding colour variations, ''M. glaucophylla'' plants growing in the northern parts of
the distribution range are usually large plants, which (when compared with plants in
the southern parts of the distribution range) have longer and more numerous fronds, with
crowded pinnae that give the fronds a "bushy" appearance, similar to that of
''M. stenomera'', though the multi-divided pinnae of ''M. stenomera'' simplify any identification problems.
On the other hand, plants growing in the southern parts of the distribution range are much smaller and,
in general appearance, are more akin to ''M. heteromera'', with its smaller stature and shorter
and more orderly pinnae.
There is only a very distant relationship between ''M. glaucophylla'' and ''M. polymorpha''.
