Pyrrosia subfurfuracea Red China Jasminum clear pinkPyrrosia subfurfuracea 'Red China' is an outstanding, garden worthy Asian native (up to 6,000' elevation in Bhutan, India, China, and Vietnam) tongue fern that came to the US via the former Chen Yi Nursery in China, and was subsequently named and introduced without species identification by the now defunct Asiatica Nursery. In the garden, Pyrrosia subfurfuracea 'Red China' forms a tight clump of 15" long, stiffly upright dark green, evergreen fronds.
