Largest [[genus]] of [[cycad]] family, Zamiaceae, with over 55 species. Leaves are pinnate, stems are cylindrical or tuber-like. Stems usually subterranean but can be above ground. [[Palm]] or [[fern]]-like appearance, with male and female plants. Both sexes bear cones, those of the female being larger. Seeds of some species are highly toxic. [[Leaves]] are arranged like spirals, are arching, and have smooth [[leaflet]]s for the most part, whose margins may be toothed, smooth-edged, or bumpy, and in some species spiny. Zamia originate from a range of habitats. Most do best [[tropical]] and [[subtropical]] [[frost-free]] regions, and make nice [[landscape]] plants.

Can grow in most well-drained soils. The open-habit types with tougher leaves can handle more exposure and more direct sun, while those with softer leaves, lusher growth, of the the understory types are better off with sheltered, semi-shaded placement and higher humidity.
