Cyclosorus Philippinensis

Cyclosorus philippinensis is a rare and unique aquatic fern found primarily in the Philippines. It belongs to the family Polypodiaceae and is known for its distinctive, spiral-shaped fronds. This plant thrives in freshwater environments such as streams and pools with clear, cool water. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, it is considered vulnerable to extinction. Its study is important for understanding the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems in Southeast Asia.
