A species that I grew from spore from the British Pteridological Society's spore exchange. It has germinated well and grown vigorously. Tim Pyner says: "Woodwardia semicordata is another handsome fern, with fronds resembling those ofW. spinulosa but the sori towards the frond apex occur adjacent to the major veins as in W. martinezii. The rhizome resembles that of W. martinezii and is prostrate and creeping. Therefore it is easily divided, which may explain its relative frequency in gardens. As yet it is unclear whether sterile, fertile or both forms are in cultivation." Plants of the World online says: "The native range of this species is Mexico. It grows primarily in the seasonally dry tropical biome." Keeping it Green nursery say: "Evergreen, Thick crown. Large arching fronds. Does not produce bulbils on the fronds. One of 4 native species to Mexico. First described in 1988 as a hybrid and in 2004 changed to a species status." |
