Aleuritopteris Anceps

Cushion fern, scientifically known as Aleuritopteris anceps, is a unique and resilient plant native to tropical and subtropical regions. It thrives in shaded, moist environments and is often found in forest understories where it forms compact, cushion-like growths. This fern is notable for its ability to withstand environmental stress and its distinctive, layered fronds that resemble a soft, green mat. Its ecological importance includes providing habitat for small organisms and contributing to soil stability in its native habitat. Despite its modest appearance, the Cushion fern plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of its ecosystem.
