B. spicant
I thought of that too - it is one of the commoner ferns here - but I've never noticed that wide rosette of any B. spicant here.
Graham, you must solve this :)
Here is a picture of nipponicum: http://yuzawa-engei.net/11English/04Artemisia/Artemisia_page.html

Link to nice pic of the B. nipponicum, Trond.
It shows what I was trying to say... that the B. spicant leaf is linear while the B. nipponicum leaf is lanceolate, fatter in the middle section.
Roma:
Some lovely plants on that site, Trond. I won't be buying plants from Japan but it's nice to look.
Pusatilla sugawarii is fantastic.

Hi Trond,
It is the wide rosette that made me wonder in the first place. I can't find any spicant photos that show it quite as obviously as does this one. But I can see what Maggi is saying about the leaf shape. It hasn't increased in several years either and I think that spicant increases quite quickly doesn't it.
The person I got it from hasn't bought any nipponicum so it can't be that.
Maggi Young:
As well as being fatter, don't nipponicum leaves have more movement in them? The spicant ones are kind of stiff.
You have the fern growing very well , at a bit of an angle, in a confined space of the trough - would that not impact on the way it grows?
