Hemionitis

Hemionitis is characterized by its heart-shaped, glossy leaves which grow directly from a central rhizome. This unique formation allows hemionitis to thrive in humid, shaded environments often found under tropical canopies. These resilient ferns are adept at capturing diffuse light and retaining moisture, crucial for their survival in dense, competitive habitats.
