Zamia furfuracea

Zamia furfuracea (scientific name: Zamia furfuracea) is an evergreen shrub native to Mexico and belonging to the genus Zamia. The trunk is short and bulbous and grows slowly.

The lobules are yellow-green, wide, cortical, hard, semi-glossy and rounded at the tip. It is considered a houseplant because the leaves are unique. Dioecious. Male flowers are grayish green and cylindrical. Female flowers are cylindrical, covered with light brown fluff, and are 6-7 cm in diameter. All will bloom in early June. Pollination is carried out by insects called white weevil (Rhopalotria mollis).
