Collector:
Fielding 209
Locality:
Mexico: Oaxaca
Type location(s):
HT:OXF; IT:K
Type notes:
Although the type specimen was collected in Oaxaca, Nicolalde-Morejón et al. (2024) only located populations they consider to be this species in Veracruz, northern Chiapas, and Tabasco, mentioning the following: "Although no record of Zamia with these morphological characters has been found in southeastern Oaxaca, it is possible that Z. lawsoniana occurs there as well, though this area has been affected by high rates of deforestation, mainly due to cattle ranching."
Etymology: Honoring John Lawson, a naturalist who collected several specimens of this species. (Nicolalde Morejón et al., 2024) [source]
