It is a fern. It might be a hart's tongue fern.

Thanks! It is close to a hart's tongue fern leaf, but I thought those fronds grew from the soil as opposed to being attached to a stem? My plant's leaves/fronds are attached to a stem/

Names of Parts of a Fern Frond

I think what you're calling the stem is better known as the stipe. I've seen pictures of hart's tongue ferns with quite short stipes and longer stipes. I think the stipe length may vary by the individual plant and/or growing conditions. Besides that the origin of the fronds (including stipes) is the rhizome which is under the soil surface. It could be that the stemless fronds you're thinking about really do have a stipe but the rhizome is deep enough that the length of the stipe barely puts the start of the frond blade above the soil and leaf litter.

I think Costa Farms grows the Exotic Angel Plants (tag in your second pic). I scrolled through their list of ferns but didn't see yours. The Blue Star Fern is a bit like yours but not a match, IMO. Anyway, they might have some things listed that they don't normally sell and some things might not be listed that they do sell.

Yes, stipe. It has been a long time since I have owned a fern. And yes, this plant is from Costa Ferns so I may give Justin a shout.

Thanks floral. Does my plant look like your Hartstongue?

In general, yes. But mine is very much larger with fronds about two feet long. They're also quite leathery and it's evergreen. I am not at all a fern expert so don't take that as gospel.

The fronds vary from 18 x 24 inches. Although it's evergreen it gets tatty over winter so I cut it down in spring. This is growth from this year.

Hi,

Apologies about the tag. Yes, it is Asplenium scolopendrium.

Thanks Justin! Looks like you were spot on Polypompholyx.
