Finger mastreed

Finger mastreed is renowned for its slender, elongated fronds that resemble delicate green fingers, stretching skyward. Found in shaded, humid environments, it thrives in the understory of forests, where its unique digit-like leaves capture dappled sunlight. This structure is not only distinctive but also highly functional, optimizing light absorption where it's scarce.
