Rare Cerotazamia sp Toman

[happypalms]

Another mail order this time some super rare cerotazamia sp Toman. I know absolutely nothing about the species except it’s rare and if it’s rare then i definitely want it. I think I might have to do some research on this on. They will definitely be going into a group planting in the garden.

I've never heard of "Toman," but I know little about most Ceratozamia.  I looked at the eBay AUS listing for it, the mature photos look something like one of the big Mexicana/Robusta/etc types.  The seedlings in your photos look like Hildae.  Maybe that will change as they get bigger flushes?

Eudloocycadgardens has a website have a look some fantastic pictures and plants available. I have Hildae very similar looking as a juvenile plant. I will research Mexicana. I guess I will have to wait 10 years to really appreciate them.

The tag should read Ceratozamia sp Tamazunchale. AKA Ceratozamia sp thomas charlie a plant from San Luis Potosi. It  has recently been formally Identified and given a name- Ceratozamia Resse, named for botanist John Reese. In cultivation ot was thought to be a robust version of latifolia, I’ve also have seen it referenced as a special form of mexicana. 

I have a few in my collection from two different sources. One I believe is definitely Cz Resse the other two large plants I’m not so sure about which leads me to believe there may have been two different plants going around with the same name? One looks more like a mexicana type but yet unique in many ways and the other looks more like a giant Latifolia not to be confused with chamberlainii. A few of mine are flushing at the moment wants the flush develops more I’ll take some pictures.

Hopefully you aquired Ceratozamia Resse witch is indeed a very rare and beautiful plant.

No problem, after looking at the sellers parent plant it looks like you got the real deal Ceratozamia Ressi. Flush color can vary I’ve seen light brown to dark red.  It’s a beautiful Ceratozamia to grow.
