''Z. fischeri'' leaflets.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-7 columns"> ===Synonymy:=== ''Zamia forsteri''<br/> ''Zamia tenuifolia'' ===Conservation Status:=== Endangered ===Distribution & Habitat:=== Well-drained evergreen pine forest in San Luis Potosi and Quertaro, Mexico. ===Description:=== A small cycad with a subterranean trunk, and leaves to about 30cm long. It has thin paperish leaflets that hang down. Often mistaken for a fern. Please also note that a very small plant can have massive tuberous root growth and can produce many cones. The female cone pictured (being held in the hand) is 1 of 4 from the same small plant. Another young multi-headed female plant produced 13 cones in the same season. ===General:=== Very similar to ''[[Zamia vazquezii]]''. ''Z. fischeri'' has fewer, shorter, leaves, and less than 12 pairs of leaflets. ===Culture:=== Sunny, moist, but well drained position. An easy and attractive plant. Unfortunately quite rare in cultivation, with most plants labelled (and sold) as such are in fact ''Zamia vazquezii''. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Zamia_fischeri02.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
