Polystichum makinoi is a species of fern in the genus Polystichum in the family Dryopteridaceae.
P. makinoi is native to Bhutan, China, India, Japan, Nepal, Tibet, North Korea, South Korea, and Myanmar. [1]
Polystichum makinoi is an evergreen fern with triangular, glossy green leaves. It can reach up to 60 centimeters in height at maturity. [2]
Polystichum is derived from Greek and means 'many rows', which is a reference to the arrangement of the sori of ferns in this genus. [3]
Makinoi is named for Tomitaro Makino (1863-1957), a Japanese botanist [3] who was known as 'the father of Japanese botany'. [4]
