Myriopteris chipinquensis is a small to medium Mexican fern from pine-oak forests, related to the lip ferns (Cheilanthes). It is a wild species rarely grown in cultivation, so care advice is limited and mostly general fern guidance.
Myriopteris chipinquensis is a small to medium-sized fern endemic to Mexico. Its leaf is up to three times dissected into oblong segments. Narrow scales and hairs are present on the underside of the leaf. One of the cheilanthoid lip ferns, it was classified in the genus Cheilanthes as Cheilanthes chipinquensis until 2013, when the genus Myriopteris was again recognized as separate from Cheilanthes. It grows in Sierra Madre Occidental pine–oak forests, often with the very similar and closely related Myriopteris tomentosa. The name refers to Cerro de Chipinque, where the type specimen was collected.
Myriopteris chipinquensis is endemic to Mexico, known from Nuevo León. It has also been reported from Coahuila, but without a cited voucher.
