===Distribution & Habitat:===
''Ceratozamia sp. El Mirador'' is not a valid species but a locality
in the state of Veracruz. This locality is named for a small
station/township that has been known and collected for years. Probably
every herbarium with even a modest collection of cycad vouchers will
sport an "El Mirador". It also happens to have been home for a while to
Maxamilian and Purpus of Dioon fame.


===Description:===
It is a long, wide leaf Ceratozamia that is currently
best attributed to ''C. mexicana''.
The petioles are characteristically armed with
rather few, greatly reduced spines; the cones are huge; the leaflets
long, attenuated, slightly broader than other mexicanans and the rachis
arches; color is bright med green.

===Culture:===
