Zamia Pumila

By following the ongoing market developments and trends, we are the leading Trader and Exporter of Zamia Pumila in Foahn, Guangdong, China.
Zamia pumila was the first species described for the genus and hence is the type species for the genus Zamia and the family Zamiaceae.

The leaves are 60a 120 cm (2.0a 3.9 ft) long, with 5-30 pairs of leaflets (pinnae). Each leaflet is linear to lanceolate or oblong-obovate, 8a 25 cm long and 0.5a 2 cm broad, with distinct teeth at the tip. They are often revolute, with prickly petioles. It is similar in many respects to Zamia furfuracea, but with slightly narrower leaflets, and to Zamia integrifolia, which differs in the more commonly entire (untoothed or only slightly so) leaflets.

This is a low-growing plant, with trunk that grows to 3a 25 cm high and diameter, but is often subterranean. Over time, it forms a multi-branched cluster, with a large, tuberous root system, which is actually an extension of the above-ground stems.

The male cones are cylindrical, growing to 3a 15 cm long; they are often clustered. The female cones are elongate-ovoid and grow to 6a 15 cm long and 4a 6 cm in diameter. Pollination is by certain insects, namely the belid weevil Rhopalotria slossoni.
