The NZ Plant Conservation Network notes that many plants sold under this name are the hybrid Asplenium × lucrosum. Confirm the nursery’s plant and its mature dimensions before publishing a final profile.
Sample information only. Nursery stock, plant form, suitability, mature spread and growing details need confirmation. This is not a claim of local provenance.
