Argyrochosma
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Argyrochosma is a genus of ferns known commonly as false cloak ferns. The genus is included in the Cheilanthoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae.[1] Species now in this genus were previously treated as members of related genera Notholaena or Pellaea but were segregated into their own genus in 1987. These ferns, of which there are about 20 species, are mostly native to the Americas, from North to South and including the Caribbean, while one species, A. connectens, is known from Sichuan, China.[2] They are commonly found growing in cracks between rocks. Their leaves are generally shorter than Script error: No such module "convert". and have rounded bluish or grayish green segments.
