Smaller solitary species of cycad with subterranean stem and pale green-grey thin leaflets. This is a native of the Bahamas and is extremely endangered. However, there are many in cultivation and they are one of the easier Zamias to grow here in Southern California. THey can take full sun and are pretty tolerant of abuse... they aren't really that drought tolerant, though. Great pot plant.

Regional...
