Description

Cyrtomium fortunei var. clivicola – first erroneously identified as Cyrtomium falcatum – was observed, on the 4th of July 2020, by Jo Goergen and Patrick Thommes in a ditch near Esch-sur-Sûre. To our knowledge, this is the first documented naturalized occurrence in Luxembourg of this popular garden fern.
