I think #1 and #2 are both variants of Zamia furfuracea.  They can show quite a bit of variation in form.  #3 is a Zamia floridana.  I'm confused about its name.  I think Zamia pumila might be more correct now?  In any case, it's what we call Coontie.

From what I read on the Internet, z. pumila is the original from the Caribbean which has migrated to the continent and lost it's toothed leaflets and prickly petiole and is called z. integrifolia or more commonly, as you pointed out Coontie.

Thanks
