Anemia tomentosa
Definition
A species of perennial fern in the family Anemiaceae, native to the dry tropical and subtropical regions of South America and parts of the West Indies. This plant is structurally characterized by a dense indumentum of long, reddish or brown hairs (tomentum) covering the rhizome and fronds, acting as an effective protective barrier against dehydration in its rocky, arid habitats.
