ONe of the more commonly grown Zamias in the states, though usually considered a greenhouse plant. It will survive in the warmer climates in southern California, and has more cold hardiness than used to be thought. It is a very attractive plant, native to Costa Rica, where it is common and grows in the jungles in shady conditions. It has a stem up to 5' (sometimes taller) and long leaves with widely spaced glossy, deeply grooved bright green leaflets, ovoid in shape. The petioles are armed irregularly. Closely related to Zamia skinneri, which has even larger leaflets, but looks similar otherwise.

I have one growing outdoors in zone 9b-10a and it's doing pretty well, though sometimes loses its leaves in cold weather (had it outdoors 5 years now). It sure isn't its glorious self that it is in a tropical situation, though.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Reseda, California
Hilo, Hawaii
