This plant was left on my doorstep this morning and I've asked around but no idea where it has come from. A neighbour is a botanist and she is away... But wondering if it might be a #MonkeyPuzzle tree sapling. Will plant it up in a pot and see ..but .. if it is one of those will get huuuuge! Any suggestions gratefully received. #Plant #Tree #Botany #PlantIdentification

Image of a plant with very spiky leaves and bulbous root. Plant is about 30 cm long and placed horizontally and on a white background.

More information on #Bunyabunya pines. There are a few of them on the Monterey Peninsula, but not much is known about them around here. I imagine they were brought here during the days when whaling and sealing ships docked here, so they may be part of the town's seafaring history. There are also some #monkeypuzzle trees here, which are related and have similar heavy cones. Must be the harvest season. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/bunya-nuts-australia
