Doryopteris angelica is a rare fern species, known by the common name Kauai digit fern. It is endemic to Hawaii where only small populations are known. [2]
The ferns grow on slopes in Hawaiian tropical rainforests habitat, and have been found only on the island of Kauaʻi. [3] It was federally listed as an endangered species in 2010. [4]
Doryopteris angelica is closely related to Doryopteris decora, and was first described as a separate species in 1999. [5] It is now placed in the Cheilanthoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae. [6]
