Botrychium Ternatum F. Dissectum

Botrychium ternatum f. dissectum is a rare and delicate fern species known for its unique leaf structure and subtle beauty. This fern thrives in shaded, moist environments, often found in forest floors where it blends seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation. Its dissected fronds create a intricate pattern that sets it apart from other members of the Botrychium genus. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in its ecosystem as a habitat for small invertebrates and a food source for certain fungi. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species in many regions.
