This splendid Fern, with its large, bright green, graceful foliage, is one of the best for cultivation 
in baskets, on cork, and in positions where the fronds can hang down and show their beauty.

A pretty Davallia, of dwarf compact habit, having rich dark green fronds, springing from a 
slender rhizome, which is densely covered with silvery white chaffy scales. It grows well also in 
greenhouse temperature. 
The Davallias, excepting several of the smallest species, are all excellent for baskets and for 
suspended cork blocks. They are also very durable when cut.
