I always like guessing. It has to be Ceratozamia mexicana or latifolia.

Sorry for the delay on plant ID's. This will just be names. I'll give more details with the tighter shots to follow.

Back row: 3 Ceratozamia robusta

Back corner: Ceratozamia "palma sola"( not officially named yet )

Left of Dypsis lanceolata: Ceratozamia "gomez pompae"

( not officially named yet )

Front row L-R: Macrozamia fawcettii, Stangeria eriopus

( grassland form ), Macrozamia spiralis

Larger palms: Chambeyronia macrocarpa, Dypsis decipiens

Camera-shy to left: Dypsis leptocheilos, Dypsis baronii

Lower right: Ravenea rivularis

Top right: Encephalartos paucidentatus, with a bit of its cousin, E. transvenosus thrown in

Thanks for your patience and guidance while I learn how to post here.

I sometimes wonder about quality control over seeds and naming in Mexico with Ceratozamia. I have purchased a lot of Ceratozamias that 'are not named yet" too.  Ceratozamia "cintalara" and C. "coreante" are the latest. But there are tons more out there. I think most the stuff is already labeled. In my case, Ceratozamia "cintalara" looks just like Ceratozamia latifolia  and C. "coreante" looks just like Ceratozamia matudae. I can sit for hours and not see a difference.

You have a nice collection going there. Should be something in a few more years.

I fully understand your frustrations with Ceratozamias. My "not officially named yet" plants are not from seed

(recently, anyway). The robustas have the most gorgeous, chocolate-brown emergent leaves. I will dig up some pics. The "gomez pompae" has nearly purple emergent leaves!

Until later,

Sean
