Zamia disodon grows as a small shrub, with a stem up to 50 centimetres (20 in) tall and 5 to 8 centimetres (2.0 to 3.1 in) in diameter. There are two to four compound leaves at the apex of the stem. The leaves are 50 centimetres (20 in) long on a petiole (stalk) up to 25 centimetres (9.8 in) long. The stalk is sparsely covered with prickles. The axis is 25 centimetres (9.8 in) long, and there are three to five pairs of leaflets per leaf, which are transparent, elliptic, and toothed along the edges of the leaflet, with double teeth near the tips. Leaflets in the middle of the leaf are 12 to 20 centimetres (4.7 to 7.9 in) long and 6 to 10 centimetres (2.4 to 3.9 in) wide. strobili (reproductive cones) have not been observed.[2]
