Lophosoria

Lophosoria is characterized by its large, deeply lobed leaves that can span several feet, creating a dramatic visual impact. These ferns thrive in the damp, shady environments of the forest undergrowth, where their broad leaves capture sparse sunlight efficiently. The distinctive structure not only aids in photosynthesis but also in collecting moisture from their humid surroundings, crucial for their growth and survival.
