These can cause severe neurological damage if ingested by humans or animals. Therefore, it is important to handle the plant with caution and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

In summary, Macrozamia fraseri is a species of cycad plant found in the sandy soils of the Swan Coastal Plain and Geraldton Sandplains in Western Australia. It is a slow-growing, evergreen, and dioecious plant with a low trunk or upright tree form. The Noongar people refer to it as djiridji and it was first described by Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel. However, it is important to handle this plant with caution as it contains poisonous glycosides that can cause neurological damage if ingested.
