Zamia skinneri is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to the coastal area of mainland Bocas del Toro Province, Panama. Its common name is cebolla roja. [1]

This has long been considered to be a variable plant that was likely a species complex, with individuals actually belonging to several undescribed species. In 2008 some populations were studied, characterized as new species, and renamed Zamia hamannii , Zamia imperialis , and Zamia nesophila . [2]

This separation reduced the size of the population of actual Z. skinneri to fewer than 500. [1]
