Cyathea Borinquena

Puerto rican tree fern, scientifically known as Cyathea borinquena, is a unique and ancient plant species native to the island of Puerto Rico. This tree fern thrives in the moist, shaded environments of the island's mountainous regions, particularly in the Luquillo Rain Forest. With its tall, slender trunk and feathery fronds, it plays a vital role in the local ecosystem. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, the species is now critically endangered. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and preserve this rare botanical treasure.
