Cycas armstrongii- Fire fern

            Cycas armstrongii is a species of cycad native to  the northwest of Australia's Northern Territory.
The stems reach 3 m (rarely 6 m) tall, with a diameter of 5–11 cm. The leaves are (very unusually for a cycad) deciduous in the dry season (though persistent if grown in moister situations).
The species is named after the plant collector John Francis Armstrong.
The species is extremely fire tolerant, and the usually early spring fires initiate a profusion of new leaf growth in the plants, thus the common name, fire fern.
