Its a cycad, not a palm.. the cone is its flowering part.. i am not sure about the species..

It is from Genus Zamia, for specie a clear close-up picture is required, or visit the following link to compare your plant with the pictures.

This is not a palm but a cycad.the picture is not very clear but i think its Cucad Furfucea which clled Zambia palm by our local nursery men.if the nurser man has sold it to u as Zambia palm then its Furfurcea cycad.the most common cycad is Revoluta commonly named kangi palm by nurser men.palms are entirely different class of trees.
if your plant has produced yellow cone,it,s a male plant.another thing which will conform is its unique foliage.Furfuacea,s leaves are thick & broad in size unlike other cycads.i lost 6 years plant last winter despite it was proted under plastic sheet.
