Zamia angustifolia is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae, part of the Z. Pumila species complex.[3] It is found in the Bahamas and Cuba.[4][5] It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Z. angustifolia is found in the Bahamas only at two sites on coastal sand dunes on Eleuthera. A survey in the early 2010s found only 150 plants. Z. integrifolia also is found on Eleuthera, but the two species ranges do not overlap. The limited number of plants and sites, and the development of nearby areas for housing create the highest concern for conservation of the Bahamian population of the species.[6] Z. angustifolia is also found in semi-deciduous dry forests in extreme eastern Cuba.[7] It is abundant in Cuba, but the taxonomic relationship between the Bahamian and Cuban populations needs further study.[8]
