Incarvillea delavayi, the so‑called hardy gloxinia or flowering fern, is a species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae, native to western Sichuan and northwest Yunnan provinces of China.[1][2] The true Gloxinia are members of the Gesneriaceae,[3] while true ferns are flowerless plants which reproduce through spores.[4]
