Noted for its elegance and the light herringbone pattern upon its green leaves, the japanese bamboo fern (Coniogramme japonica) is a popular ornamental houseplant. In its wild East Asian habitats, it forms thick colonies in places where the forest is particularly wet.
Intermediate bamboo fern is a striking fern with broad, finely textured fronds that arch gracefully, hinting at its affinity for shaded, moist environments typically found in forest understories. Its long, pinnately compound leaves, which can create a lush undergrowth, are marked by a distinctive pattern of veins, providing an elegant appearance. The intermediate size and robust nature of intermediate bamboo fern make it a notable presence amongst woodland flora.
Coniogramme wilsonii is a forest-growing plant that looks a little like its close relation Coniogramme japonica, but its pinnae, or primary leaf division, widens at the base, rather than narrowing. The famous British botanist and Asian plant collector Ernest Henry Wilson (1876 – 1930) is remembered in this plant's scientific name, Coniogramme wilsonii.
The bamboo fern is an unusual-looking fern shaped like bamboo leaves, giving it its common name. Its leaves have fine striping in dark green and gold, making it a sought-after house and garden plant.
