Finally adding a plant I have grown myself... pretty common Ceratozamia and a nice landscape plant. Has very thin, long slightly fluted leaflets fairly closely spaces along the rachis. Handles some direct sun but definitely prefers partial shade in inland California, though I have seen some relatively happy full sun plants along the coast. Not sure how this differs from Ceratozamia volvidensis, a very similar but maybe a bit larger plant (and significantly less common). New leaves an ornamental yellowy -bronze color
