Schizaeales

Schizaeales is a distinctive group of ferns often recognized by their curled, thread-like leaves which unroll as they mature. These plants thrive in humid, tropical environments where their unique fronds, resembling tufts of wiry hair, allow them to capture moisture effectively. This adaptation not only supports their growth in dense undergrowths but also aids in their survival across varying microclimates within rainforests.
