Abstract

The name Zamia prasina is presently being applied in the horticultural industry and systematic literature to a little known taxon from the Maya Mountains in Belize. An examination of the historical material of Zamia prasina, herbarium specimens, and wild Zamia populations in Belize leads to the conclusion that the name does not correctly apply to this taxon but instead is a valid prior name for Zamia polymorpha that takes nomenclatural precedence. A lectotype for Z. prasina is designated.
