Oceaniopteris gibba, the miniature tree fern (syn. Blechnum gibbum),[1] is a tropical species of fern in the family Blechnaceae, native to New Caledonia and introduced in Fiji.[2] It has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
It grows to 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft). With a vertical "trunk" (actually a rhizome), it has bright green fronds. As it does not tolerate temperatures below 15 °C (59 °F), in temperate zones it must be cultivated under glass all year round. It is a suitable subject for a greenhouse or conservatory. It requires an acid soil and a partially shaded position.[3]
