Athyrium Aphanoneuron

Cinnamon fern, scientifically known as Athyrium aphanoneuron, is a striking member of the fern family native to moist woodlands and stream banks. Its unique appearance, with tall, arching fronds that resemble cinnamon sticks, gives it its common name. This plant thrives in shaded environments and is often found in temperate regions across North America. With its delicate, spore-bearing clusters at the tips of its fronds, it plays an important role in forest ecosystems. Its elegant form and ecological value make it a popular choice for gardens and conservation efforts.
