These are gorgeous aren't they. This is most probably Cibotium barometz, which I believe is a protected species but fairly abundant and often sold this way. It has medicinal uses and a fascinating connection to the legend of the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary. Well worth reading up about! http://www.forestferns.co.uk/tree-ferns/cibotium/cibotium-barometz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_Lamb_of_Tartary http://kericronin.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/scan0029-small.JPG
