Zamia erosa is a species of cycad native to the Caribbean islands of Jamaica, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, described by Orator Fuller Cook and Guy N. Collins in 1903.[2] The species formerly known as Z. amblyphyllidia (described in 1987) was determined in 2010 to be the same species as Z. erosa.[3] It is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List.[1]
Z. erosa is part of the Zamia pumila species complex.[4]
