This member of the Zamiaceae
family was described by D.W.Stevenson , S.Sabato, P.De Luca and
Moretti in 1995-96 and published in1998. It is only found in the
Northern Veracruz, Mexico. It grows in open forests, in a well
drained soil with some water and some to a lots of sun. The
caudex-like stem will get 10 centimetres in diameter and 30
centimetres high. The leaves up to one meter. Both male and female
cone are brown. As fare as I know, it can only be reproduced by it's
red seeds.
Named after Mario
Vazquez Torres, a Mexican botanist.
Often confused with
Zamia fischeri, which are less numerous in leaves (less than six),
are less than 30 cm long, are reflexed, and have less than 12 pairs
