We obtained this gem under the name C. macrophyllum 'Mini', which it is not. We are pretty certain that it is actually a dwarf form of C. falcatum, probably the one collected by Barry Yinger from Paeknyong Island, Korea. Whatever you call it, this choice fern for the woodland rock garden makes a small clump, eventually reaching 6" tall x 15" wide. The very thick, glossy green leaves make this an eye-catching specimen.
