The species Humata griffithiana var. tyermannii belongs to the Davalliaceae fern family. According to the classification by the Dutch Fern Society, this family shares its characteristic epiphytic lifestyle with families such as the Polypodiaceae. In its native habitat in tropical East Asia, this fern grows as an epiphyte or lithophyte, with its creeping rhizomes attaching to moist rock faces and tree trunks. These 'feet' are covered in soft, silvery-white to beige scales and hairs, which the fern uses in the wild to absorb water and nutrients from the air. The young, finely divided fronds unfurl in the characteristic shape of a bishop's crosier, shifting in color from a bronzy red to a glossy, deep green. This species is highly valued in plant displays for its excellent air-purifying qualities and great adaptability. The symbols below provide additional product information about this unique fern.
