Scientific Names

Read about Elaphoglossum in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Elaphoglossum (Greek, serpent tongue). Polypodiaceae. A large group of tropical ferns, with creeping rootstocks and simple leaves. The sporangia cover the entire under surface of the fertile leaves which are usually much smaller than the sterile ones. Nearly all the species are free-veined but a few have netted venation.—There are 80-100 species in the tropics of both hemispheres. They were formerly included under Acrostichum. All require warm- house treatment, an abundance of water at the roots, and an open porous compost. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
