Aglaomorpha rigidula is a species of tropical fern in genus Aglaomorpha widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia, from Southwest China to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia.[1] Growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte, its green fronds are up to 1.22 metres (4 ft 0 in) in length. This fern develops two types of fronds, some of which near the base of the plant are shorter, sterile, and rust-colored which form a basket-like shape that trap moisture and organic components that nourish it.[2] Especially in colder weather, this basket acts as prime habitat for animals such as the Amethystine python.[3]
