Name

Zamia angustifolia Jacq., Collectanea 3: 263, pl. 636 (1789). pl. 636

Etymology

Originally intended to refer to the very narrow leaflets but angustifolia actually refers to the leaves and in this case is somewhat of a misnomer because the leaves are not really narrow for Zamia (although the leaflets are).
