Macrozamia riedlei
Nyungar: djiriji

Zamias belong to an ancient plant family dating from the Mesozoic era, hence sometimes being called living fossils.

Zamias are pollinated by weevils and produce heavy cones with seeds covered in a red, fleshy rind. The oil-rich seed rinds are attractive to many small animals and insects. While possums have been known to move the seeds, it is likely zamias once depended on emus for dispersion away from the parent plant. Nyungar people treated the outer part of the seed by burying or soaking it before eating. Zamias can be found throughout the corridor.
