Botrychium Multifidum Var. Silaifolium

Silaifolium fern, scientifically known as Botrychium multifidum var. silaifolium, is a unique and delicate member of the fern family. Native to specific regions of North America, it thrives in moist, shaded environments such as woodlands and rocky stream banks. Its intricate foliage features a complex arrangement of fronds that distinguish it from other fern species. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its subtle appearance and limited distribution. This plant plays an important ecological role in its habitat, supporting local biodiversity and contributing to forest understory dynamics.
