    This seems like a very rare fern. I've never seen it sold, but I might have missed something! I love the lacy look! The plant was given to me in a 2 inch pot. It requires a lot of humidity to be happy. No humidity means a brown fern! The Marshall Islands was the perfect place to grow this one. I brought it home to the states, and it promptly died.
