Pityrogramma schizophylla

Pityrogramma schizophylla is a member of the Pteridaceae family, a group of ferns commonly known as the bladder fern family. This species is distributed across several Caribbean islands, including Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, and the Archipiélago de Cuba. The scientific name was formally established in 1922 by Maxon, who recognized and classified the species following earlier contributions by Baker ex Jenman. The genus Pityrogramma includes ferns characterized by their distinctive leaf morphology and ecological adaptations to tropical and subtropical environments.
