Pyrrosia lingua (Japanese Contorted Tongue Felt Fern)

Pyrrosia lingua, commonly known as the Japanese Contorted Tongue Felt Fern, is an evergreen fern characterized by its uniquely twisted and contorted fronds. The fronds have a fuzzy texture, resembling felt, hence the common name. This fern is native to East Asia and is commonly found growing on trees or rocks in shaded woodland areas. It is a low-growing fern that forms dense clumps, making it an excellent choice for ground cover in shady gardens or as a natural accent in rock gardens.
