Actinostachys

Actinostachys is a distinctive type of fern characterized by its unusual, slender, spike-like reproductive structures, which resemble small rays of sunlight. This plant typically thrives in moist, shady environments, often found clinging to the sides of rocks or growing along the forest floor. Its growth patterns and structure are finely adapted to capture limited light, making it a unique component of its ecosystem.
