Zamia in Tropical Morning Light

This cluster of Zamia furfuracea, commonly known as cardboard palm, thrives in the InterContinental San José gardens. Despite its palm-like appearance, it is a cycad—an ancient gymnosperm lineage dating back to the age of dinosaurs. Its thick, oval leaflets reflect light in waves of green, embodying Costa Rica’s blend of botanical diversity and prehistoric heritage.
