Phlebodium pseudoaureum (Cav.) Lellinger

국표에 없다.

Phlebodium pseudoaureum grows in the forests of America and western India. This hardy fern, a member of the Polypodiaceae family, is distinguished by its large wingspan and glaucous-green foliage.

Phlebodium pseudoaureum is much taller than its cousins, phlebodium aureum 'Davana and phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star. It grows to over a metre in height and has a bushy habit.

It is an epiphytic fern that spreads its territory thanks to a subaerial creeping rhizome. Brown and covered with fine scales, it resembles a rabbit's foot.

The glaucous-green fronds measure up to 1.5 meters. Narrow and lanceolate, they are sharply divided on either side of the rachis. Foliage is evergreen. But when the temperature drops too low, the leaves fall off. They grow back when the fine weather returns.

Phlebodium pseudoaureum doesn't need flowers or fruit to multiply. It produces sori on the underside of its fronds all year round. These small, raised yellow, brown or orange spots contain sporangia. Once disseminated by the wind, these cells give rise to new plants.
