My new 7 dollar zamia - Which is it?

Recommended Posts

Here are photos of my new 7 dollar male zamia. It was grown in the shade so it's color and compactness may be a bit off a bit. It looks a whole lot like furfuracea but without the fuzzy petals... Any ideas as to its identity?

To me it looks like Zamia furfuracea.  I find that there's a lot of variability in this species as far as breadth and shape of leaflets, and even a little difference in habit between plants in this species, not to mention what you said about getting a little stretchy in shade.

Are the leaflets thick and stiff?

Yes they are. They are much the same as on my z. furfuracea, but without the fuzz. The leaflets are somewhat glossy. As you can see from the photo, the fronds are somewhat more distended than z. furfuraceae, but that may be due to the growing conditions as opposed to natural tendencies.
