  Zamiaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zamiaceae are a family of cycads that are superficially palm or fern-like.
They are divided into two subfamilies with eight genera and about 150 species in the tropical and warm temperate regions of Africa, Australia and North and South America.
As with all cycads, members of the Zamiaceae are poisonous, producing poisonous glycosides known as cycasins.

 Cycad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zamiaceae is more diverse, with a fossil record extending from the Middle Triassic to the Eocene (54 – 200 mya) in North and South America, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica, implying that the family was present before the break-up of Pangea.
African cycads are rare and are thought to be naturally decreasing due to small population sizes, and there is controversy over whether to let natural extinction processes act on these cycads.
All cycads are in the CITES appendix appearing under the heading Plant Kingdom and under three family names, Cycadaceae, Stangeriaceae and Zamiaceae.

 Plant Systematics: Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae
The Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae are families of the Cycadophyta with a primarily tropical/subtropical distribution.
The Cycadaceae are thought to be the oldest extant lineage of cycads and apparently are the sister group to all other cycads.
Recent molecular evidence (see Donoghue and Doyle, 2000) demonstrates that Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae may well be part of a monophyletic gymnosperm lineage (Chaw et al., 2001), though definitive support for this is not yet available.

The largest and most widespread of these is the African endemic genus Encephalartos, in the family Zamiaceae, with over 60 species spread through southern and central Africa.
South-eastern Australia (south of the Tropic of Capricorn) is the centre for Macrozamia (Zamiaceae), with 32 species in the region at the latest count and probably more to come.
Tropical Australia is a major centre of radiation in the genus Cycas (Cycadaceae), with 25 species, mostly in monsoon woodlands and forests with pronounced and long dry spells.

 Zamiaceae description
The families of cycads and the Zamiaceae of Australia.
Abstract: The n-alkane distribution patterns from 31 specimens in the meso-American cycad genera Ceratozamia, Dioon, Zamia and two Australian taxa, reported from GC analysis, complement a previously published investigation of the African genus, Encephalartos and complete a survey of the Zamiaceae.
Exceptions to the general trend are seen in Dioon califanoi, which shows an angiosperm-like bias towards odd- numbered carbon alkanes, and to a lesser extent in two species of Ceratozamia and three of Zamia.

 CAUDICIFORM Zamia furfuracea
This member of the Zamiaceae family was described by Aiton in 1789.
It is found in Mexico, growing in a well drained soil with some water and some sun.
It can only be reproduced by seeds from the brown cones of the female plant.

 PACSOA - Zamiaceae in Australia
One genus of the Australian Zamiaceae, Bowenia has a fern-like appearance and indeed is known hera as 'Byfield fern'.
To describe cycads to the uninitiated, they are a group of woody stemmed plants, some with thick columnar caudices, others with the trunk completely subterranean.
Now it can be accepted that the Cycadales is divided into three families Cycadaceae, with the sole genus of Cycas, Stangeriaceae, with the sole genus Stangeria and Zamiaceae which contains all of the remaining genera.
