Lady Fern

The lady fern in the popular name of the fern ‘Asplenium filix-foemina’. It is variable in size and detail, of very graceful habit, and of thin, almost transparent texture, with conspicuous venation. Its color is a most delicate green. The fronds are lanceolate and bipinnate, and are developed from the summit of the caudex. Many varieties are found wild, such as ‘marinum’, whose fronds taper from their centers toward either extremity; ‘latifolium’; and ‘convexum’, whose fronds are much narrower than in the common type. The lady fern and its varieties are easily cultivated in any damp, shady spot.
