Crocodeilanthe Nivalis

Snowy tree fern, scientifically known as Crocodeilanthe nivalis, is a rare and striking plant native to the high altitudes of Southeast Asia. This unusual fern is characterized by its pale, almost white fronds that give it its namesake appearance. It thrives in cool, humid environments and is often found in cloud forests and mountainous regions. Despite its beauty, it is highly sensitive to environmental changes and is considered endangered in many areas. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it a fascinating subject for botanical study.
