Dicksonia Punctilobula
Dicksonia Punctilobula - A beautiful hardy Fern found in shady woods and moist copses in N. America, from New Brunswick and Canada to the Central United States. Its graceful pale green fronds are 1 to 2 feet long and 5 to 9 inches broad, twice or thrice divided, and carried upon roots which creep just under the ground. The fronds are held very erect upon hairy stems, are soft in texture, and dry prettily in the autumn, when the tiny glands on the under surface give out a pleasing fragrance to which the plant owes its name of the Hay-scented Fern. It is hardy in Britain, thriving in peaty or leafy soils in partial shade.
