Davallia tyermanii 'Sekka' Zones 8-10 #603-014
A new Japanese version of the "rabbit's foot" fern with a "foot" that looks with a fuzzy cockscomb. This is very slow to grow and propagate, but not otherside challenging; it like to be a little dry in the winter, and grows well on on a rock or piece of wood, or in a very well-drained medium such as orchid bark or sphagnum moss.
Microlepia strigosa 'Shishi' Zones 8-10 #603-001
The Japanese species Microlepia strigosa is a fairly unremarkable terrestrial fern that looks much like a hundred other species with pinnately compound fronds. This Japanese selection is much more remarkable, for its wildly crested and frilled fronds, no two alike. The name means "lion".

Southern Japanese epiphyte with flat, papery, bright green fronds that are divided like antlers.
Pyrrosia davidii 'Yoshikawa Shishi' Zones 8-10 #603-029
