Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Nephrolepis cordifolia, Presl (N. tuberosa, Hook. N. cordata, Hort.). Lvs. numerous, tufted, with stiff petioles, 15-30 in. long, l½−2 in. wide, with close often overlapping pinnae, these usually blunt and crenulate. Mex., Japan, and New Zeal.—A rather slow grower. It reproduces by runners but less freely than N. exaltata. Commonly known in the trade as N. cordata and under this name has several varieties as vars. compacta, gigantean, tessellata and variegata. Var. plumosa, common in the trade as N. tuberosa plumosa, is a beautiful form with glossy dark lvs. which have the pinnae once pinnate in the outer half or two-thirds. Var. Duffii is a remarkable wild variety with the pinnae reduced to one or two rounded segms. Var. pectinata lacks the tubers and has narrower, more spreading lvs. Probably a distinct species.
