Item description :1 plant in a 2,5 or 3 liters pot. You receive a plant similar to the ones on pictures. The last pictures show plants in habitat in North East Florida, big thanks to Mike for allowing me to use his picture for my website.

Habitat and description : According to the latest genetic studies, there are only two varieties/ subspecies of Zamia integrifolia : Zamia integrifolia var. integrifolia, the most widespread, found on the whole West Coast of Florida and the South and the umbrosa form that is found on the North-East Coast of Florida, usually in forests and on river banks. This form is quite compact with a rather open crown and wide leaflets. Purity of this variety is guaranteed.
