Thrives primarily in the temperate biome. Prefers cool, moist environments with well-drained soil in crevices of rocks or shaded areas on slopes.
It is miniature clump-forming fern with a compact low-growing structure.
Stem is short and inconspicuous, usually hidden beneath the base of the fronds. Provides minimal support for the compact rosette of leaves.
Leaves are deeply divided and resembling delicate, green fingers. Pinnately lobed, meaning the main rachis has leaflets (pinnae) deeply cut into smaller lobes. Fronds reach up to 10 cm wide and 4 cm tall, creating a compact rosette. Soft and leathery in texture with a glossy green color.
Flowers are small and inconspicuous, usually hidden along the underside of mature fronds.
