Zamia paucijuga Wieland [WFO] [IPNI] [POWO] [MO]

First published in: Amer. Foss. Cycads 2: 212, fig. 86. (1916).

Etymology: From the Latin pauci- (‘few’) and jugus (‘paired’), apparently referring to the few pairs of leaflets of the type specimen, which is actually a misnomer because leaves of mature plants have many leaflet pairs. (Whitelock 2002) [source]
