Cibotium menziesii
Also called Hawaiian tree fern, Menzies' tree fern
Cibotium menziesii is a Hawaiian tree fern, endemic to the islands of Hawaii, that grows slowly into a trunk-forming fern in wet, shaded forest. It needs humid, cool-to-mild conditions and consistently moist soil, with shelter from strong sun and wind.
Cibotium menziesii, the hāpuʻu ʻiʻi or Hawaiian tree fern, is a species of tree fern (Family Cybotiaceae) that is endemic to the islands of Hawaiʻi. It is named after the Scottish naturalist Archibald Menzies. It is also known as the male tree fern, and Cibotium glaucum is deemed the female tree fern due to differences in color.
