description_en: Genus of about 100 species of epiphytic and terrestrial, evergreen ferns with long-creeping rhizomes, mainly from tropical forest in North and South America, but also found in temperate areas in E. Asia. They are cultivated for their very small to large, mostly simple, linear to almost rounded, sometimes palmately lobed, thick, leathery fronds, the undersides of which are usually densely covered with matted and felt-like, star-shaped, branched hairs. In frost-prone climates, grow in a container or hanging basket in a temperate green-house; elsewhere, grow epiphytically on a tree or on other mossy supports, or in a sheltered, shady border.
