Loxsomataceae

Loxsomataceae is a small family of ferns known for its large, elegant fronds that gracefully unroll from a central rosette, distinctive in rainforest undergrowth where light is sparse. Its leaves are typically textured with a leathery feel, aiding in moisture retention. The creeping rhizomes of loxsomataceae help it spread across the moist forest floor, thriving in high humidity and low light conditions.
