This is a strange finding from Sulawesi. Actually I'm still puzzled whether this is the true L. carnosa and everything in cultivation as L. carnosa is something else, or whether it's a new species. I did not yet see the holotype of L. carnosa to clarify.

A very nice species that carries spines on the rhizome.

Lecanopteris, though best grown under warmhouse condditions, tolerate a wide range of temperatures. The scale-covered species such as L. crustacea and L. lomarioides can even be grown on windowsills as they accept lower humidities than the glabrous ones such as L. carnosa or L. luzonensis. All Lecanopteris species respond very well to fertilizer such as Osmocote.
