Zusammenfassung:Recent collections of Ceratozamia from the Sierra Norte of Puebla, Mexico, point to a new undescribed species, which was previously subsumed under the concept of C. mexicana. Identification of this new species resulted from a review of three associated species: C. mexicana, C. tenuis, and C. delucana. Here we describe Ceratozamia totonacorum and provide information regarding its distribution and natural history. The Ceratozamia species from the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico, are circumscribed using morphological characters, including a detailed evaluation of reproductive structures such as the apex, position, color and shape of the ovulate strobilus.
