Acuña-Castillo RH. 2010. A new species of Zamia (Zamiaceae) from Costa Rica. Brenesia 73 : 29-33.

Abstract

Zamia gomeziana sp. nov. is described from material collected from Fila de Matama, in Limón Province, Costa Rica. It is distinguished from Zamia fairchildiana L.D. Gómez by its straighter leaflets with longer tips, longer megastrobilus peduncle and thicker megastrobilus with a shorter sterile apex. A discussion about the possible relationships of this new taxon with other existing Zamia species is briefly outlined. Most aspects of the biology of this species are unknown.
