Cyathea semiamplectens
A tree fern from the cool high mountains of north-eastern New Guinea, growing at about 3,300 to 3,600 m. It is a wild montane species, not a common garden or houseplant, so care advice is inferred from its cloud-forest habitat.
Alsophila semiamplectens, synonym Cyathea semiamplectens, is a species of tree fern in north-eastern New Guinea at 3300 to 3590 metres. Its trunk is 1 to 2 metres tall. The stipe is covered by thin scales. The scales are either having a dark middle band and fragile edges or are pale all over. Fronds are bi- or tripinnate and 1–2 m long.
