One of the oddest, and consequenty, coolest ferns we grow in the garden is Lepisorus palmatopedatus, which translates in to palm-foot, scaly-sori fern. We’ve grown this Chinese (Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou) oddity for over three years, and it justs gets better each year, spreading slowly, via an underground rhizome. For us, it’s been mostly evergreen during most winters. We’ve sown spores, so if they germinate, we’ll one day have plants to share.

Is this originally from Hengduan Mountains Biotechnology (Holger/Wenqing)?
Yes, it is.
