Zamia furfuracea is a cycad native to southeastern Veracruz state in eastern Mexico. Although not a palm tree (Arecaceae) its growth habit is superficially similar to a palm; therefore it is commonly known as Cardboard Palm but the alternate name Cardboard Cycad is preferable. Other names include Cardboard Plant Cardboard Sago Jamaican Sago and Mexican Cycad (from Mexican Spanish Cícada Mexicana).
