About

Zamia splendens is a species of cycad plant in the family Zamiaceae found in tropical rainforests in southern Mexico. Described in 1984, it was later classified as a synomyn of other Zamia species, but is now recognized as a valid species by most authorities.

Where it grows

Z. splendens is endemic to rainforests in the Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, and southeastern Veracruz at elevations below 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level, and more specifically in the "understory of primary evergreen tropical rain forests on karstic rock or clay soil between 100 and 800 metres (330 and 2,620 ft) above sea level".
