| Zamia neurophyllidia (Zamiaceae) is a native of Costa Rica and Panama. This cycad gets its name from the nervelike appearance of its leaflets. Each leaf has 6–12 pairs of leaflets. Like other cycads, Zamia neurophyllidia is dioecious so it has male cones (pollen cones, usually cream to tan in color) and female cones (seed cones, usually brown) on different plants. | |
