Myriopteris lendigera is a species of cheilanthoid fern with the common name nit-bearing lip fern.
This fern is easily cultivated, and should be grown under high light in well-drained soil. The soil should be dry to moist-dry.
Myriopteris lendigera is found from the southwestern United States south into northern South America. In the United States, it occurs in southern Arizona and southwestern Texas. It is present throughout most of Mexico (except for the Baja California peninsula and the Yucatán Peninsula), and in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama in Central America. It occurs south into South America in Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, and in the Dominican Republic. Two naturalized populations are known from the vicinity of Rotorua, New Zealand.
