Hemionitis Dichotoma

Hemionitis dichotoma is a rare and unique fern found primarily in the arid regions of western North America. It is known for its distinctive, dichotomous branching pattern that gives it a tree-like appearance. This plant thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in desert or semi-desert environments. Despite its delicate appearance, it is highly adapted to survive in harsh, dry conditions. Its ecological significance makes it an important species for studying plant adaptation in extreme climates.
