Pyrrosia nummularifolia (Acrostichum nummul-ariifolium ; Yunnan [Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand]. 钱币石韦 |
Plants small, 2-7 cm tall. Rhizome long creeping, 0.6-1.6 mm in diam., in cross section sometimes with a single, central sclerenchyma strand; phyllopodia 0.5-1.5 cm apart, lateral buds between or opposite to phyllopodia. |

Suitable for

On rocks; 400-1100 m. |
Propagation: For those without propagation by spores instructions; the following is suitable: "Keep a close eye upon the fronds, and when the spore cases begin to turn brown remove a frond or portions of it, and wrap them up in white paper, putting them in a closed box for a few days, when an abundance of spores for sowing will be available. Fill some pots with good loam, to within an inch (2.5 cms) of the top, using to drainage, and surface this with some finely broken and dusty crocks or bricks. Give a thorough watering, and when this has soaked away sow the spores as thinly as possible. Stand each pot in a saucer of water, cover it in a case or under a bell-glass where light is available, but where there is no direct sunshine. When the pots get covered with small green scales (prothallica), transplant some of the small tufts with a pointed peg into other pots filled with compost and surfaced with sandy soil. Saucers of water beneath the pots should be used to supply moisture." from Black's Gardening Dictionary. Edited by E.T. Ellis. Published by A & C. Black Ltd in 1928. |

On tree trunks in forests or on rather dry rocks; 100-1900 m. With leaves that look and feel more like a cow's tongue, it's hard to imagine that these are really ferns. Many books claim that Pyrrosia lingua isn't winter hardy here, but we grow only uneducated ferns that can't read gardening books. The hard rhizome grows along the ground and the leaves arise singly from it. The tongue-shaped leaves have a unique, cardboard-like texture with a felty backside and eventually make a nice evergreen mass. Pyrrosia prefers to grow on a steep slope or somewhere where the self-attaching rhizomes can adhere to a vertical surface. Grow in Part Sun to Light Shade. |

Published on the Internet http://www.efloras.org [accessed 7 May 2019]' Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, MO & Harvard University Herbaria, Cambridge, MA. Propagation: For those without propagation by spores instructions; the following is suitable: "Keep a close eye upon the fronds, and when the spore cases begin to turn brown remove a frond or portions of it, and wrap them up in white paper, putting them in a closed box for a few days, when an abundance of spores for sowing will be available. Fill some pots with good loam, to within an inch (2.5 cms) of the top, using to drainage, and surface this with some finely broken and dusty crocks or bricks. Give a thorough watering, and when this has soaked away sow the spores as thinly as possible. Stand each pot in a saucer of water, cover it in a case or under a bell-glass where light is available, but where there is no direct sunshine. When the pots get covered with small green scales (prothallica), transplant some of the small tufts with a pointed peg into other pots filled with compost and surfaced with sandy soil.

Polypodium vulgare (Ctenopteris vulgaris) This will be found throughout the British Isles, from the Shetlands southward, and all elevations from sea-level up to 3,400 feet. It had formerly a variety of names in local use, such as Adder's-fern of the NewForest, the Golden Polypody of some parts of Kent, and Golden Lock and Golden Maidenhair in Herefordshire, the last 3 names apparently havng reference to the golden-brown scales. It has a fleshy rootstock, which, densely clothed with golden-brown, lance-shaped scales, may be seen creeping over the leaf-mould of old hedgerows or that which has gathered between the forking of the huge root-limbs of some old oak; or the rootstock may creep vertically over the bole of an oak in moist woods, the rootlets filling the crevices of the bark. It may even take possession of vacant spaces in the masonry of old walls. |
The frond is of oval-oblong shape and may be anything in length from 3 to 18 inches (7.5-45 cms) or more, according to the conditions under which it is growing. If one goes to the lanes of Devon and Cornwall in 1965, specimens may be found on the rich deposits of leaf-mould under the hedges, whose fronds may often exceeed 24 inches (60 cms) in lengt and are proportionately broad. |

If you grow and sell ferns in any country, please tell me so that I can put them on this website and inform others where they can be bought online via mail-order. If you would provide photos and fern details to be only used by me on this website, they would be gratefully received, since I could assume that the photo was a valid one in regard to its name of fern in its filename to that fern in the photo. |
