Abstract:
A new and distinct variety (cultivar) of fern plant of the group known commercially as "Boston ferns" has been discovered and propagated. The new cultivar originated as a vegetative variant ("bud sport") of a plant of Nephrolepis exaltata cv. Verona, and is distinguished from its parent and other cultivars of "Boston ferns" by fronds that have shorter, more numerous and crowded divisions which grow entangled with one another to produce thick matted blades, and by pinnules that have laminae which are very small, variable in shapes but predominately narrowly linear, irregularly pinnatifid or forked.
