INTRODUCING Cystopteris moupuensis.

摘要

Atthe Society's 2010Annual General Meeting at Dunchurch, Warwickshire, I found several ferns in small pots on the plant sales area. It was at the end of the meeting and I purchased half a dozen of them at a knock down price. One of the pots containeda tiny plant labelled Cystopteris moupuensis. I was pleased to add it to my small Cystopteris collection particularly as this is a species completely unknown to me. It sat in my small greenhouse largely ignored by me and sad to relate, because of my inattention to watering, it lost all its fronds. I was convinced that I had lost it completely but I gave it a good soak and placed it on the floor, in the shade of the greenhouse staging.
