Pyrrosia lingua Corymbifera Patrinia are followed by unusual seedThis rare crested form of the tongue fern is among the most beautiful of the ferns we grow. Each dark green cardboard textured frond, which emerges from the thin surface growing rhizome, looks like a reindeer head after a bad experience with a four wheel drive pickup nice antlers, but sort of twisted out of shape. Grow this evergreen fern in a well drained site on a slope for best performance.
