C. fortunei is an evergreen fern with erect 'shuttlecocks' of pinnate fronds to 1.2m tall, with about 20 pairs of dull green leaflets, usually toothed.

Cyrtomium falcatum

Grown in gardens and occasionally escapes into the wild.

All year round.

Evergreen.

There are very few records for this species in the wild in Britain.

Seems to be rare as a wild plant in Leicestershire and Rutland. It was not recorded in the 1979 Flora survey of Leicestershire.
