Gymnocalycium pflanzii (Gymnocalycium pflanzii)
Description
Gymnocarpium dryopteris has small, delicate fronds up to 40 cm (16 inches) long, with ternately-compound pinnae (leaves). Fronds occur singly. On the underside of matured pinnae the naked sori can be found (the Latin generic name gymnocarpium means “with naked fruit”). The species grows in coniferous woodlands and on shale talus slopes. Gymnocarpium dryopteris, a forest understory plant, is not found in association with Quercus (oak). In cultivation in the UK this plant and the cultivar "Plumosum" have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
