    This is the plant. I can`t recognise even its family. Any suggestions?

    It reminds me of a rabbit's foot fern (Latin name?), but beyond that you might want to post the pic on the fern forum at Gardenweb.com as they're likely to know the answer.

    Are there types that grow like that though (the leaves certainly look like it)?

    It could be a type of Polypodium but it`s not punctatum. My fern`s got compound leaves with petioles. I`m not sure what Rabbit`s Foot Fern is. There are possible two genera - Polypodium and Davallia. I couldn`t find any similar after googling both. Thank you for your posts.

    Hi, I just rechecked on the R.F. fern (a Davillia) and it's nothing like the one here, I guess I was thinking of Platycerium.

    I think it`s Polypodium fallax or P. attenuata.
