Platycerium hillii Raijin - like most hillii, this variety makes very wide fronds when mature, with prominent veins.  In this case, I feel like even wider than normal for the species, with broad "toes" undulating the very edge. I say 'toes' becuase they can be so broad and chunky that it does not seem right to call them fingers like we often say about platys.

P. hillii is a wee bit less fuzzy than some more commonly grown species, and consequentially is reportedly less tolerant of very high light.  I can't say I've seen any issues with them under artificial light, however, at least under my conditions, but thought I'd toss out that note so you can be careful.  Other than that, pretty much grow it like a bifurcatum. 

You will get one of the plants shown or one similar in size.  These are a good age to be mounted if you like.  These would also look really cool in a wooden basket.
