Argyrochosma

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 40 centimeters and have rounded bluish or grayish green segments. Often the lower surface of the segments is coated in a white dust, and the sporangia contain brown spores.

Species

As of April 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species:[3]

gollark: Right now mesh networking is still quite early in its life and I don't think many of the problems have been worked out entirely yet.
gollark: They might be able to be once the stuff develops better and people work out exactly what works best.
gollark: I don't think you could make stuff compatible enough that you wouldn't need any intermediaries without it just essentially using the same networking stack.
gollark: The main issue, I think, is that they don't really work similarly at a *routing* level.
gollark: They don't need to be on the same frequency or anything, you could just have a device with multiple transceivers.
