Tags: Fern.
Cibotium (from the Greek kibootion meaning chest or box) is a genus of 11 species of tropical tree fern—subject to much confusion and revision—distributed fairly narrowly in Hawaiʻi (four species plus a hybrid collectively known as hāpuʻu) Southeast Asia (five species) and the cloud forests of Central America and Mexico (two species). Some of the species currently listed in the literature seem to be synonyms or local-variant subspecies.
