jeff Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Bonjour do you know this specie ? jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Derrick Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Its just a commercial ripoff, supposedly a Brazilian species. Incidentally, Carlos Tatsuta was a commercial fern grower from Brazil who passed away in 2010. He is almost certainly of Japanese descent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeff Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I suspected as much, I've never heard of Lecanopteris in brazil. JEFF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glen chappell Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I have a small cutting called L. 'Tatsuta' I received from Chad Wunderlicht. He said: "Lecanopteris 'tatsuta' was a cv. that Charles (Alford) propagated and thought he threw away. But he had sent one to Atlanta Botanical Gardens where I (Chad) was told by Wistuba it was. I took a cutting and sent it back to Alford. It probably is crustacea x mirabilis. L.'alford' is probably the same but it took on more of Mirabilis, and 'tatsuta' takes after crustacea, but it still gets HUGE. Nice cv." My guess was simply that either Chad (probably) or Charles named it in honor of Carlos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
