Zamia skinneri is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to Panama. Its common name is cebolla roja.[1]
This has long been considered to be a variable plant that was likely a species complex, with individuals actually belonging to several undescribed species. In 2008 some populations were studied, characterized as new species, and renamed Zamia hamannii, Zamia imperialis, and Zamia nesophila.[2]
This separation reduced the size of the population of actual Z. skinneri to fewer than 500.[1]
