It's a version of what's called 'fishbone' fern, a pretty one that one often finds in old fernhouses (or just in older house gardens) it probably came from some exotic place originally, via England where it was exported with a load of Parlour Palms in the days when one had a parlour.
There again, it could just be a mutant form of the Australian native one, and the romance of tales of it's travels will be lost, replaced by another kind of excitement I guess.
