Macrozamia communis is a palm-like shrub with long, gracefully arching, glossy green fronds (up to 50cm or more in a full grown specimen) with sharp, pointed leaflets in two regular rows, the lower few progressively reduced and rather spine-like. The mature female plant develops a number of large, football like cones about 25cm long. The male cones can measure up to 45cm with up to ten being borne per mature plant.
