Description
An upright, pale selection that can form a tall crown of shield fronds.
Mature shields can form a high, symmetrical crown. Haruhana, a Platycerium nursery in Taiwan, describes its cultivated Pedro mother plant as having this form.
The fertile fronds are densely pale and divide into many narrow branches. Their fine divisions give the plant a layered, almost lace-like appearance.
The combination of a high shield crown and finely divided, silver-white fertile fronds is characteristic of cultivated Pedro. Appearance alone does not establish the ancestry of an individual plant.
