Angiopteris microura is a very large tree fern-like species from the Solomon Islands, notable for its enormous stalks. It needs warm, wet, shaded conditions and is a challenging plant for home growers.
Angiopteris microura is a fern in the family Marattiaceae, native to the Solomon Islands. It is distinguished from other Angiopteris species primarily by its very large stipes or petioles which are up to 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) long and up to 7 cm (2.8 in) thick.
