Wooly Fern

Cibotium Barometz (Wooly Fern) is an beautiful fern growing from a creeping rhizome that produces clusters of fronds up to 2 metres tall. The rhizome is very thick, woody, and covered by long soft, golden yellow hairs. It looks rather like a golden haired dog. This fern was the origin of the myth of the Scythian or Tartarian lamb.
