Aglaomorpha bonii is a species of subtropical fern native to Southeast Asia. [1] Growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte, its rhizome is covered in dry, paper-like fronds while the larger fronds are fertile and bear spores. [2] This fern has long been used in traditional medicine in Vietnam to treat a variety of ailments, [3] and in scientific research, compounds from the plant have demonstrated antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
