Velvet fern
Velvet fern is a lush fern with velvety fronds that spread horizontally, creating a dense, leafy ground cover. Its leaves, deep green and glossy, are characterized by their finely toothed margins and soft texture, reflecting an adaptation to lower-light forest environments. This fern typically thrives in moist, shaded areas, where its robust yet elegant presence adds to the diversity of the understory.
