The name, derived from the Greek word lepidos, meaning scaly, refers to the scale-like structure of the stem and leaf bases. They are native to [[rainforest]] climates in eastern [[Queensland]] and eastern [[New South Wales]]. They have a [[chromosome]] number of 2n = 18.<br /> <br /> ;Species<br /> *''[[Lepidozamia hopei]]''<br /> *''[[Lepidozamia peroffskyana]]''<br /> <br /> A specimen of ''L. hopei'' is known as the tallest living cycad at 17.5 m tall. These cycads are generally unbranched, tall, and with persistent leaf bases. They are easily cultivated as ornamental plants and are relatively cold hardy; ''L. peroffskyana'' was first described by a specimen grown at [[St. Petersburg]]'s botanical garden in 1857.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *[http://plantnet.rbgsyd.gov.au/PlantNet/cycad/lepkey.html The Cycad Pages: ''Lepidozamia'']<br /> *Whitelock, L.M. 2002.
