Can you identify a plant which looks like corn?
Hello friends! I saw this interesting plant, which looks a bit like corn on the cob 🙂 I saw this during my trip to Indonesia. Do you know what it is? Thank you!
It is Zamia furfuracea, a Cycad, native to Mexico.  Cardboard palm plant (but it i it isn’t really a palm) or Zamia furfuracea is one of those ancient plants that can grow inside or outside, it depends on your gardening zone.
Other names include cardboard cycad, cardboard plant, cardboard sago, Jamaican sago and Mexican cycad.The plant’s name Zamia furfuracea comes from the Latin zamia, for “pine nut”, and furfuracea, meaning “mealy” or “scurfy”.
All parts of the plant are poisonous to animals and humans if ingested. The toxicity causes liver and kidney failure, as well as eventual paralysis. Dehydration sets in very quickly. No treatment for the poisoning is currently known. Plant has spines or sharp edges.
