Lepisorus ussuriensis

Lepisorus ussuriensis is a small, creeping polypod fern of temperate East Asia that grows on shaded rocks and tree trunks from Korea and northern China to Japan and the Russian Far East. It is cold hardy and tolerates drying, curling its narrow fronds in drought and reviving when wet, so it suits a shaded rock garden, mount or cool terrarium.
