Cyrtomium falcatum
Evergreen fronds in rosettes on slender stalks. Shiny green arching leaves to 36 inches, divided into very shiny dark green, leathery, hollylike leaflets.
The books say they like moist, acid soil. This one has sprung up in a crack in a limestone ledge, and seems to be living there very happily. It's a protected spot in the shade of an overhang, and does receive moisture from any runoff if it rains.
