Argyrochosma is a genus of ferns known commonly as false cloak ferns. The genus is included in the Cheilanthoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae. Species now in this genus were previously treated as members of related genera Notholaena or Pellaea but were segregated into their own genus in 1987. These ferns of which there are about 20 species are native to the Americas from North to South and including the Caribbean. They are commonly found growing in cracks between rocks.
