Pyrrosia Eboshi Multicolor Flowering Plants opening like a dwarf BaptisiaPyrrosia 'Eboshi' is an odd Japanese selection of tongue fern that is either a tetraploid selection of Pyrrosia lingua, or possibly, a hybrid with Pyrrosia sheareri. This oddity has 5" tall, super thick, glossy, dark green, twisted leaves with fuzzy brown backs. It can either be grown as an epiphyte or in well drained soil, where it spreads quite slowly via a very thick, shortened rhizome.
