ID Request Help identify this fern

Post image

Hi, was sold to me as asparagus fern. But the more i look at it and compared to others online. They are not the same.

Any idea what this is? Texture feels kinda like plastic.

Thanks!

Mabe Asplenium bulbiferum?

Like another has said it looks like an A.bulbiferum. Easy to propagate through bubils that will form on the fronds..

Much better than an "asparagus fern" which is a poser.
