Bowenia sp. 'Tinaroo'

Post by Geoff »

This is a cycad found in the same location, approximately, as Bowenia spectabilis, but is serrated like Bowenia serrulata... some say it is just a serrated form of Bowenia spectabilis... others say it is an undescribed species, and still others say it is population of Bowenia serrulata, far from the plants normal distribution in Australia.
