Narrative
Full name as recorded at the U.S. National Arboretum: Cyrtomium falcatum subsp. littorale. The only plant growing next to the 44948-H label in 2022 is actually C. fortunei, and it appears that this accession and NA 45190 were mixed up during a temporary relocation to the lath, after which they were replanted but spread around the Cryptomeria Walk. One plant in BON-CRYP-L that is probably this accession (and not NA 69370) is quite compact, and one in BON-CRYP-R has particularly smooth pinnae. Further examination pinpoints this accession as C. falcatum subsp. littorale, which produces more spores per sporangium (supposedly 64, although ours seem to have many more than that) and has smaller laminae that are hard-leathery and rather thick compared to typical C. falcatum.
