Cyathea latebrosa
This moderate sized, attractive tree fern from moderate elevations in
the Himalayas remains very rare in cultivation. It ought to tolerate
a few degrees of frost but its exact hardiness is not known. It prefers
open sites with at least some exposure to sun, and appreciates warm, humid
summers.
