Nephrolepis

Nephrolepis
furcans (Albino)
This is an
extremely rare condition of the Nephrolepis group. This albinism occurred
in a collection in the
Coral Gables section of Miami. There were only two fronds that came up
lacking chlorophyll. Without
chlorophyll, photosynthesis can
not take place, ultimately dooming these fronds. While they are
interesting
to look at, they unfortunately died shortly after.
