Zamia paucifoliolata

A rarely recorded Colombian cycad with few leaflets per leaf, as its name says. Little has been published on it, so grow it like other lowland rainforest Zamia: warm, shaded, humid, and in a free-draining mix that never stays soggy.

Where it grows wild

No wild locality records are available. Most Colombian Zamia of this kind are understory plants of humid lowland or foothill forest; this profile assumes the same.

Unknown; the climate site is a regional placeholder at about 170 m.
