Older specimens lose the leaf base scars and gain a more checkerboard appearance. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 1.1-1.7 m long, pinnate with 180-320 leaflets, the leaflets 14-23 cm long and 4.5-6.5 mm wide, grey-green to glaucous; there are to 40 leaves in the crown. The leaf petioles are armed with spines in younger individuals (a few millimetres long) with this trait being lost in older individuals. <br /> <br /> The female [[strobilus|cones]] are open type [[sporophyll]]s 25-50 cm long, brown, each with 6-12 ovules each. The [[lamina]] is triangular ending in a sharp narrow spine. The male cones are solitary, erect, 20-25 cm long and 12-15 cm diameter. <br /> <br /> The name derives from the Latin angulatus, which translates as &quot;angular&quot;, referring to the leaflet arrangement on the leaf petiole.<br /> <br /> ===Cultivation===<br /> It is occasionally grown as an [[ornamental plant]]; seeds are presently available for buyers. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *[http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/cycadpg?taxname=Cycas+angulata Cycad Pages: ''Cycas angulata'']<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cycads]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of the Northern Territory]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Queensland]]</div>
