Arachniodes simplicior (East Indian Holly Fern)

Arachniodes simplicior (East Indian Holly Fern)

Holly Ferns are usually named owing to their holly-like leaves, but this plant is definitely not. Instead, the elegant long fronds are heavily flushed apple-white down the central rib. A perfect candidate for a shady garden, and working well in contrast with white-variegated Hosta.
