Cyathea lepifera

Sphaeropteris lepifera, synonym Cyathea lepifera, the brush pot tree (Chinese: 筆筒樹; pinyin: bǐtǒng shù; Japanese: ヒカゲヘゴ), or flying spider monkey tree fern is an endangered tree fern that grows in the mountains of East and Southeast Asia. This species can grow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) tall and 20 centimeters in diameter at the base. While the tree fern lineage dates back to the Jurassic, the crown group Sphaeropteris can be traced back to the Cretaceous, around 90 million years ago.
