Lip Fern

Myriopteris lanuginosa

Also called Lipferns

Myriopteris lanuginosa is not a single accepted species; the name is a disputed synonym now assigned to other Myriopteris ferns, mainly M. lendigera and M. gracilis, which are wild lipferns of dry, rocky sites in the Americas. They are grown by enthusiasts in cool, dry conditions, so care notes below apply to these lipferns in general.
