Aglaomorpha coronans is a species of tropical fern widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia, from Nepal to Peninsular Malaysia.[1] Like other Aglaomorpha, it is an epiphyte and its scientific name (coronans) refers to the circular, crown-like growth habit. One of the species of basket fern more common in cultivation as a houseplant,[2][3] it has as thick rhizome that soaks up moisture and fronds that are up to 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) long and 40 centimetres (16 in) wide.[4]
