Pots of Cardboard Palm or Zamia furfuracea are on sale at a hypermarket as an auspicious plant for Chinese New Year. Why is it considered auspicious? I am guessing that it has been given an auspicious name in Chinese by businessmen.
Scientific name: Zamia furfuracea
Family: ZamiaceaeCommon name: Cardboard Palm
Chinese name: 鳞秕泽米铁
