Mexican Cycad

Zamia furfuracea is a cycad native to southeastern Veracruz state in eastern Mexico. Although not a palm tree , its growth habit is superficially similar to a palm; therefore it is commonly known as Cardboard Palm but the alternate name Cardboard Cycad is preferable. Other names include Cardboard Plant, Cardboard Sago, Jamaican Sago and Mexican Cycad . The plant's binomial name comes from the Latin zamia, for pine nut, and furfuracea, meaning mealy or scurfy.

Zamia Furfuracea is a focal point in my back yard. It is the first season that these huge plants flowered. I was aware the flowers (seed cones) were present.
