*Ophioderma (Blume) Endlicher. Snakeskin Fern.

A genus of 3-15 species, epiphytic perennial herbs, of the Old World tropics. Zhang et al. (2020) suggest that Ophioderma includes many more than the 3 species often recognized, based on molecular and morphological evidence.

ID notes:Ophioderma is distinctive in its epiphytic habit and pendulous, strap-shaped leaves, with the narrow fertile portion branching off at a right angle.
