Pleocnemia

Pleocnemia encompasses a group of terrestrial ferns commonly thriving in the humid, shaded floors of tropical forests. Characterized by their robust, upright fronds which often display a distinctive ladder-like arrangement of leaflets, these ferns are adapted to gather limited light under dense canopies. Their unique frond structure aids in capturing moisture and detritus, vital for their nourishment in nutrient-poor soils.
