Description
This specimen is a Wavy Scale Cloakfern, a type of fern characterized by its delicate, bipinnate fronds with wavy-edged pinnules. It grows from a rhizome rather than developing a woody trunk, making it an unusual candidate for traditional bonsai cultivation. The intricate foliage creates a textured appearance.
