Very rare cycad now becoming more common in cultivation... it's one of the more cold hardy Zamias and a relatively fast grower. It looks a lot like a Ceratozamia except its cones are definitely more Zamia-like. Has then, smooth leaflets that are lime green. Relatively easy to grow- not that needy of water.

Regional...

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

Thousand Oaks, California
Miami, Florida
