Zamia furfuracea (Cardboard Palm)

Zamia furfuracea, commonly known as the Cardboard Palm, is a slow-growing, tropical cycad with a bold, architectural appearance. Despite its common name, it is not a true palm. It produces a symmetrical rosette of thick, stiff, leathery leaflets that resemble cardboard in texture—hence the name

This plant has a compact, shrub-like form and is highly valued in modern landscapes for its sculptural look, drought tolerance, and low maintenance requirements. It does not flower in a traditional sense but produces cone structures typical of cycads, with ornamental red to orange seeds in mature female plants
