Bosmania membranacea is a species of fern in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae. It is native to tropical and subtropical Asia, from India to Japan and south to Sulawesi.
This fern was given its common name, "Crocodile fern," for its most interesting physical feature – the leathery, strap-like fronds (fern leaves) with a textured pattern that reminds of crocodile skin. The entire look makes crocodile fern highly unusual in the fern world, and therefore, it is highly sought-after in the horticultural market.
Crocodile fern is named for its fascinating leaves which have a scaly crocodile-like texture.
