Callistopteris

Callistopteris is a genus of small, creeping ferns that thrive in moist, shaded environments typical of tropical regions. These ferns feature delicate, finely divided leaves that contribute to their lacy appearance. Callistopteris's unique ability to adapt to low-light conditions under forest canopies allows them to effectively utilize space and resources on the forest floor.
