Acystopteris japonica is a creeping fern that makes its home in medium-altitude forest valleys. Its close neighbor Acystopteris taiwaniana looks very similar but you can tell the two apart because that species is only found in China. It is named japonica after its native Japan.
Acystopteris tenuisecta is a rare fern with thin, dagger-shaped fronds. This knife-like quality is how it got the designation tenuisecta, which means "thinly cut." Typically, it is confined to the mountainous ranges of Yakushima Island, in Japan, but it has also been found in locations across Asia.
