Dear members, 

I am sharing photos of the Zamia species in cultivation, which looks slightly similar to the Zamia integrifolia, but I am confused with the other species Zamia pumila as it also has some resemblance to it. Kindly help validate the ID of this cycad. 

Place: Hamirpur. H.P. 
Dated: April, 2024

Best regards,
Nishant Chauhan

Dear sir, 

Thank you for the input sir. Yes, it has some morphological similarities to Zamia furfuracea but it's a different species. I compared the leaflets with Zamia furfuracea and it was not matched. The features like the typical rigid or cardboard-like texture of the Z. furfuracea leaflets with rounded to sub-acute apex and serrulate leaf margin towards the tip are absent in the posted Zamia plant. It is more like Z. integrifolia and Z. pumila or maybe some dwarf form/variety of Z. integrifolia. 

With regards,
Nishant Chauhan

Yes, it appears more closer to Zamia integrifolia.
I tried but could not find the difference between the two, on the net.
