Cyathea bryophila is a species of tree fern native to Puerto Rico where it grows in the understory in wet montane and mossy forest at an altitude of 750-1200 m. The trunk is erect up to 7 m tall and about 10 cm in diameter. Fronds are pinnate or bipinnate and grow to 2 m in length. The underside of the rachis is pubescent and has occasional scales towards the base. The scales range in colour from brown to bicoloured (pale with brown margins).
