This particular Tassel Fern - Huperzia nummularifolia is another common type sold similar with the Huperzia phlegmaria the most common type and easily available in most nurseries.
This one is slightly rare but still available in comparison with the rest of the huperzia types. The rest can prove expensive and difficult to cultivate and grows ever so slowly and easily die if something is not right with the plant.
Locally it is known as "pakis sisik naga" or "pakis sisik ikan" which appears to be like fish scales or dragon scales upon it. However these were used as traditional herb medicines but there is no proper scientific prove to identify that these are actually medicinal.
I had wrote on how to Care & Cultivate Tassel Ferns in detail.
