复数:zamias
New Latin, from Latin zamiae nuces, false manuscript reading for azaniae nuces pine nuts
The first known use of zamia was in 1819
1 I crouched behind the thick tussocks of the zamias.
2 But there is also a growth of buried underwood, consisting of arbutus, barberry, fuchsias, flowering currants, and a singular fern, also occurring in the island of Juan Fernandez, and resembling the zamia of Australia.
3 I cross thy fields of lava, rugged in outline, and yet more rugged with their coverture of strange vegetable forms—acacias and cactus, yuccas and zamias.
