Oeosporangium pteridioides is a small, desert-adapted fern native to the Mediterranean region, North Africa, Macaronesia and parts of Western Asia. It is a wild species with little horticultural history, so it is rarely grown as a houseplant and is best kept as a dry-tolerant, lightly watered rock or garden plant in a warm, sunny spot.
Oeosporangium pteridioides (with many synonyms, including Hemionitis pteridioides) is a species of fern in the family Pteridaceae. Its native distribution is Macaronesia, around the Mediterranean in Europe, North Africa and Western Asia, and into the Sahara.
