Pteris serrulata, Linn. f. Lvs. 3-12 in. long, on slender brownish stalks, consisting of a terminal pinna and 5-6 pairs of lateral ones, the upper ones decurrent and the lower forked into 2 or 3 branches or with second branch above the basal one; pinnae narrow, the indusium not extending to the apices, which are sharply serrulate. China and Japan.—Many monstrous and distorted forms appear in cult., giving rise to such varietal horticultural names as angustata, cristate, cristata nana compacta, cristata variegata, densa, Gilbertii, Ouvrardii (P. Ouvrardii, Hort.), voluta, and the like, but these cannot be regarded as true varieties in any scientific sense. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
