There is simply not much information about this fern. Some catalogs list it as D. odontoloma, while others claim it is D. fructosa. We've got a fern in the fight, but we prefer to stay on the sidelines of this debate. It is a high-elevation Himalayan fern that makes a 2' tall upright clump. That's about all we know for now.
