Arachniodes tripinnata

Arachniodes tripinnata is a member of the Dryopteridaceae family, a group of ferns commonly known as the wood fern family. This species is part of the genus Arachniodes, which includes ferns characterized by their leathery fronds and distinctive leaf morphology. The plant is naturally distributed across several Southeast Asian islands, including Borneo, Caroline Is., Jawa, Philippines, and Sulawesi. The species was formally described in 1973 by Sledge, who recognized and named it based on earlier work by Goldm. Its classification within the genus Arachniodes reflects its morphological traits and phylogenetic relationships with other species in the group.
