Aglaomorpha willdenowii explained

Aglaomorpha willdenowii is a species of subtropical fern native to the islands of Comoros, Madagascar, and Mauritius.^[1] Drynarioid ferns are largely native to Asia and Oceania, but A. willdenowii is the only species of fern in the genus native to Madagascar.^[2] Like other Aglaomorpha, its caudex is covered in dry, scale-like sterile fronds and fine hairs, while the larger green fronds are the fertile ones bearing spores.^[3]
