Zamia furfuracea, commonly known as the Cardboard Palm, is a popular plant native to Mexico. Its nickname comes from the stiff, thick, and somewhat cardboard-like texture of its leaves. This plant is not a true palm but rather belongs to the cycad family, which has been around for millions of years.
