Filmy fern

Filmy fern are a family of delicate, often translucent ferns commonly found in moist, shaded environments. These ferns typically form thin, filmy fronds that thrive in high humidity, essential for their spore dispersal and growth. Their wispy appearance is well-adapted to their ecological niche, allowing them to absorb moisture directly from their surroundings.
