Thelypteris Resinifera Var. Caribaea

Thelypteris resinifera var. caribaea is a unique fern species native to the tropical regions of the Caribbean. It is characterized by its delicate fronds and distinctive spore-producing structures. This plant thrives in moist, shaded environments along forest floors and rocky outcrops. Its name reflects its association with resin-like substances found in its tissues. Despite its beauty, it remains a lesser-known and underappreciated member of the fern family.
