Plant identification
I just found a good looking plant I haven't seen before in my local store.
It apparently came mixed in with a shipment of Java Fern and looks like it
is related. It isn't in any of my books.
It is a dark green with leaves of the same sort of texture as Java Fern.
However the leaves grow on stiff, stand-up stalks are triangular shaped,
toothed and have an "accordion-type" surface. It appears to have the same
sort of roots as Java Fern and grows on a piece of wood. The fellow working
in the store (who is quite knowledgable but doesn't know this plant) says
that it reproduces like Java Fern -- off the leaves. It is however, also
putting out growth from the base of the main stem as well.
Can anyone tell me the name of this plant?
