The general name 'Zamia variegata' pertains to the cycad Zamia Picta Variegata. Not the plant that is the ZZ plant (Zamia zamifolia). I was wondering which you are actually growing? I think perhaps the Plant Database needs to separate these 2 and make entries for Zamia picta variegate and Zamia zamifolia varigata as these 2 appear to be those 2 plants, different plants.

To my eyes, it does look like a variegated form of ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) I found photos online of many variegated Zamioculcas zamiifolia: https://www.bing.com/images/se.... We currently don't have a database entry for a cultivar 'Variegata' but if a new database entry is created for it, perhaps Kaleem's photo could be moved over.
The Catalogue of Life is the scientific source used by the garden.org database and it shows Zamia picta as a synonym for Cycad (Zamia variegata)

I agree. I have been growing the Zamia picta/variegata cycad for over 10 years, I bought it from Floribunda in Hawaii with an order of palms I made. The more mature leaves are different from the juvenile leaves on the new flushes but still of not resemble the ZZ plant at all, here is a new flush of growth on mine

No, and TY for asking. I thought I had a point, but stupidly did not research until after hitting send. Then did a brief search and decided my point didn't hold water and that I didn't want to look into it further.
