| Family: | Pteridaceae |
| Genus: | Pteris (TARE-iss) |

Fronds are bipinnate, reaching 30–60 cm in length, with a distinctive silvery-white central stripe on each pinna. The stipes are slender and light brown. The plant forms a graceful, arching clump.
Native to tropical regions, it prefers high humidity, indirect light, and consistently moist, well-drained soil. It is sensitive to cold and should be protected from frost. Regular misting and a pebble tray help maintain humidity indoors.
