Abstract

A new species in the genus Zamia (Zamiaceae), Z. standleyi, from northern Honduras is described. This subterranean-stemmed species appears most closely allied to Z. splendens. The combination of characteristics that set Z. standleyi apart from other species in the genus are its arcuate leaves, slightly folded leaflets, sexual dimorphism in cone habit, and pronounced falcate leaflets with extremely spinulose marginal teeth. Its diploid chromosome number is 16.
