It is actually a narrower, longer leaflet Zamia that is not well known. Angustus means "the narrow" in Latin, angustissimus means "the narrowest". It has the narrowest leaves of any Zamia I have seen.

Just a clarification, angustissima often gets left by the wayside! :)

angustifolia ?:unsure:

Michael, the Z. angustissima is similar to Z. angustifolia but is definately a different species. Z. angustifolia, from the Bahamas, also have very narrow leaflets but are spaced farther apart, about an inch, and are a olive green color. The petioles on angustifolia are purplish-bronze color versus light green on angustissima. I have both growing here in my garden and side by side it easy to see the differences.

Thanks for that . I looked in 'The Cycad Pages' and no mention of this at all [ that I could find ]

"Distinguishing features: Z. angustifolia has the most narrow leaflets of any species of Zamia and also has very dark gray to black cones."

GRIN list it as a syn. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?444231

It does look a lot different .

If you can find a copy of The Cycads by Loren M. Whitelock, they are both discussed there.
