Zamia stricta is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to Cuba.
Z. stricta is part of the Zamia pumila species complex. [2]
The Zamiaceae are a family of cycads that are superficially palm or fern-like. They are divided into two subfamilies with eight genera and about 150 species in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Australia and North and South America.
Zamia is a genus of cycad of the family Zamiaceae, native to North America from the United States throughout the West Indies, Central America, and South America as far south as Bolivia. The genus is considered to be the most ecologically and morphologically diverse of the cycads, and is estimated to have originated about 68.3 million years ago.
Lepidozamia hopei, commonly known as Hope's cycad or Zamia palm, is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae, endemic to the Australian state of Queensland.
Macrozamia heteromera is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae initially discovered by Charles Moore in 1858 and is endemic to New South Wales, Australia. It can be found in the north-western region of New South Wales within the Warrumbungle mountains and further south west towards the Coonabarabran district. It is a low trunked cycad usually at a height below 1 metre and can be found in dry sclerophyll woodlands. M. heteromera can be distinguished from the rest of the Macrozamia genus by its mid-green, narrow, usually divided pinnae and divided seedling pinnae. It is a plant that has toxic seeds and leaves, a characteristic common to cycads. However, after proper preparation and procedure, the seeds are fine for consumption.
Macrozamia spiralis is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to New South Wales in eastern Australia, where it is found in sclerophyll forest on low-nutrient soils. Plants generally lack a trunk and have 2–12 leaves that range up to 100 cm (40 in) in length.
Zamia amplifolia is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to the Calima River watershed of Valle del Cauca Department, Colombia. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Zamia angustifolia is a species of plant in the genus Zamia. It is found in the Bahamas, where it is threatened by habitat loss, and in Cuba, where it is abundant.
Zamia cremnophila is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to the state of Tabasco in Mexico, between Teapa and Tapijulapa.
Zamia fischeri is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to Mexico. It is often confused with Zamia vazquezii. Zamia fischeri is named after Gustav Fischer, a cycad enthusiast of the nineteenth century.
Zamia lucayana is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae, part of the Zamia pumila species complex. It is endemic to the Bahamas, and is endangered by habitat loss. Z. lucayana is known locally as "bay rush".
Zamia paucijuga is a species of plant in the cycad family Zamiaceae.
Zamia portoricensis, also known in Puerto Rican Spanish as marunguey, is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to the Susúa State Forest region of western Puerto Rico.
Zamia pseudoparasitica is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to Panama.
Zamia pygmaea is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae found only in Cuba. It is the smallest living cycad. It is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List based on its limited distribution, severely fragmented habitat, and population of less than 250 mature individuals.
Zamia roezlii is a species of cycad, a palm-like pachycaulous plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is found in Colombia and the Pacific coast of Ecuador. It is named for the Czech botanist Benedikt Roezl. A single sperm cell from Zamia roezlii is about 0.4 mm in length and is visible to the unaided eye, being the world's largest plant sperm cell. Drosophila bifurca, a species of fruit fly, has sperm that are 5.8 cm long, albeit mostly coiled tail. The tree is up to 22 feet in height with fronds up to ten feet long bearing leaflets up to twenty inches long and six inches wide.>
Zamia wallisii is a species of plant in the Coontie Family (Zamiaceae). It is endemic to Colombia. Its common name is chigua.
Zamia erosa is a species of cycad native to the Caribbean islands of Jamaica, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, described by Orator Fuller Cook and Guy N. Collins in 1903. The species formerly known as Z. amblyphyllidia was determined in 2010 to be the same species as Z. erosa. It is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List.
Zamia incognita is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to Colombia.
Zamia nana is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is found in Coclé Province in Panama.
Zamia integrifolia, also known as coontie, is a small, tough, woody cycad native to the southeastern United States, the Bahamas, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and Puerto Rico.
