Diplopterygium

Diplopterygium is noted for its large, feather-like fronds that can grow several meters in length, contributing to its distinctive appearance. These fronds are typically bright green and deeply lobed, reflecting the plant's adaptation to shaded forest floors where sunlight is sparse. This ground-dwelling fern thrives in humid, temperate to tropical climates, leveraging its expansive leaf structure to capture available light and moisture efficiently.
