Pyrrosia longifolia fern

17 years ago

I saw this for the first time today in a display of ferns, and would love to acquire one. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to buy one?

Hi all From the info which was sent to me (also privately) I think it is Pyrrosia linearifolia), which seems native to Japan. Here is a picture of that one: http://www.chayagate.com/sagamihara2/ZorroVx/birodo0.jpg Many thanks

I can't find that fern in my books, but it appears to be some kind of Pyrrosia. Pyrrosia lingua has a few crested forms that are similar, but I have never seen a pinnate Pyrrosia lingua. I have a crested form of P. lingua that looks a lot like yours, but each leaf comes from the rhizome, and it doesn't have leaflets (called "pinnules") on the sides of the main stems (called "stipes") like yours does. I would guess that it's another species. Very nice, I want one!

My enquiry was fruitless. They said none were available and they aren't growing them any more. Disappointing

Sorry to hear that Valda, did they tell you why they are not growing them anymore.
Perhaps ask at Bunnings, K-Mart and Big W to see if they can find a source..

Put a post on the Australian Garden Exchange here someone may be able to swap you a piece..
