The edible tubers

Pyrrosia lingua Nokogiri Ba Lepechinia very exotic and unusualPyrrosia lingua 'Nokogiri Ba' is a fascinating selection of tongue fern, whose thick, cardboard like dark green leaves have ridiculously wavy margins that appear almost as saw like protuberances. Each evergreen leaf emerges from a wiry rhizome which runs along the ground. In marginal winter climates, it is important to plant this on a slope to mimic its epiphytic nature.
