Kulhait fern, scientifically known as Athyrium dissitifolium var. kulhaitense, is a rare and captivating species native to the lush, humid forests of northeastern India. This striking fern is characterized by its delicate fronds that unfurl in a spiral pattern, creating a visually mesmerizing display. It thrives in shaded, moist environments, often found growing along forest floors or on rocky outcrops.
