  • About

    A rare, endangered fern found only on Oahu and Molokai. Though it resembles a four leaf clover, this is a true fern. Found only in moist conditions, where it can lay dormant until the area floods.

  • Uses

    No uses turned up in my research. Let me know if you have any information on this.

  • Growing tips

    This fern loves to be wet and the more water the better. It can tolerate full sun, but prefers to be in understory. When happy, it will send out shoots and could potentially spread to other pots.
