Cheilanthes Farinosa Var. Anceps

Rock fern, scientifically known as Cheilanthes farinosa var. anceps, is a hardy perennial plant that thrives in rocky and arid environments. This variety of rock fern is characterized by its compact growth and drought-resistant properties, making it well-suited for harsh landscapes. It features delicate, lance-shaped leaves covered in a fine, powdery coating that helps reduce water loss. Often found in crevices and on cliffs, this plant plays a vital role in stabilizing soil in rocky regions. Its resilience and unique appearance make it a fascinating subject for both botanists and nature enthusiasts.
