Zamia grijalvensis

A rare cycad from south-eastern Mexico, named for the Grijalva river basin and assessed as Critically Endangered. Little is published on its habitat, so care here follows lowland Mexican Zamia: warm all year, bright dappled light, a free-draining mix and a drier spell in late winter and spring.

Where it grows wild

Thought to grow in the understory of lowland to foothill tropical forest in the Grijalva basin; specific habitat detail is thin, so this follows related Zamia of the region.

No elevation data in the records; the single climate site is a lowland point at about 110 m.
