A terrestrial or epiphytic fern found in moist gullies and rainforests. Finely cut, fresh green leaves on glossy dark arching fronds growing from the base in a fountain habit. Plantlets grow on the upper part of the leaf. Prefers a shady site, with soil that does not get too dry. Wonderful as a ground cover in shady conditions. Hardy to cold.
