📋 About Myriopteris pringlei
Myriopteris pringlei, known as Pringle's lip fern, is a small fern of Texas and Mexico. The leaf is three to four times divided into elliptical or long-triangular segments. The leaf axis is scaly, while the leaf surfaces bear a few whitish hairs or are free of them altogether. One of the cheilanthoid lip ferns, it was classified in the genus Cheilanthes as Cheilanthes pringlei until 2013, when the genus Myriopteris was again recognized as separate from Cheilanthes. It typically grows on igneous rock. It is named after Cyrus Pringle, who collected the type specimen.
