Opinion differs as to which is the handsomest Fern amongst 

 the glaucous section Phlehodium. The present Fern is much 

 less common than Polypodium aureum, and, in my opinion, a 

 more beautiful species. The pinnae are also narrower, and more 

 distant from each other than in P. aureum. 



Like P. aureum it is easily propagated, and it is more glaucous.
