Distribution & Habitat:[edit]

Description:[edit]
A medium sized cycad, with a subterranean trunk, and a sparse crown of arching, 2-3m long leaves. Its leaflets are up to 60cm long, and 25cm wide, which are the biggest of any member of the Cycadales.
General:[edit]
Zamia wallisii is a very fuzzy plant and it is very difficult to grow. Our plants in Colombia are showing male cones which are white. Very rare, and very much sought after by collectors.
