Botrychium Multifidum Subsp. Silaifolium

Silaifolium fern, scientifically known as Botrychium multifidum subsp. silaifolium, is a rare and delicate member of the fern family. Native to the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, it thrives in moist, shaded environments such as woodlands and stream banks. This fern is distinguished by its intricate fronds that resemble a fan, with a unique structure that supports both photosynthesis and spore production. Due to its limited distribution and sensitivity to environmental changes, it is considered a species of conservation concern. Studying Silaifolium fern offers valuable insights into the ecological dynamics of understory plant life.
