Davallia (Davalliaceae) BSWJ4448

mariesii

Originating from a small piece of branching rhizome covered in silvery brown hair (scales), that we collected in 1997on the island of Cheju-Dõ, a large island to the south of mainland Korea. Where it grew as an epiphyte forming dense patches of long-creeping rhizomes with slender scaly stems (stipes) to 13cm long bearing loosely ovate-triangular in outline finely dissected fronds to 20 × 15cm, of a parchment texture. Best grown in moist, but drained leafmould in full to light shade where the rhizomes can creep along the surface.
