Pyrrosia angustissima

A small creeping felt fern with very narrow, thick, almost needle-like fronds, recorded widely across central and southern China. It grows on mossy rocks and tree trunks in seasonal forest with warm, wet summers and cold, drier winters, so it is far hardier and more drought-tolerant than its delicate look suggests.

Where it grows wild

Grows creeping over shaded to partly lit rocks, cliff faces and tree trunks in broadleaf and mixed forest, usually where moss holds some moisture. Details here come from the measured range and from what is known for the genus; species-specific habitat notes are thin.

Recorded at about 270–1,700 m, median around 1,050 m, so mostly in low hills to middle mountain elevations.
