davalliadavallia
genusgenusElegant ferns characterized by their fuzzy, creeping rhizomes that resemble furry paws or rabbit feet crawling across surfaces. These distinctive plants produce delicate, triangular fronds that arch gracefully from their creeping stems.
Etymology
The genus was named after Edmund Davall, a Swiss botanist from the 18th century who made significant contributions to the study of ferns in Switzerland.
Interesting fact!
The fuzzy rhizomes can survive long periods of drought by going dormant, allowing these ferns to thrive in areas where many other ferns would perish.
