Cyrtomium falcatum (L. f.) C. Presl

Dryopteridaceae

Cyrtomium is a genus of ferns with about 40 species. The epithet falcatum refers to the shape of the leaflets of its imparipinnate, "falcate" shaped leaves.

Native to East Asia and Polynesia, it withstands periods of drought and high temperatures, and its glossy, rigid leaves are a deep green. It has become popular thanks to its resistance and adaptability to indoors and outdoors.
