One of the most beautiful of the Ceratozamias, but a rare one in cultivation. It has glaucous leaves that can be blue-green in some lights, and lime green in other situations. It has long, drooping leaves with wide leaflets. A rare and endangered cycad from southern Mexico. It is a prize for any garden, but watch for snails- will gobble up the new leaves overnight!
