Crepidomanes minutum is a filmy fern (Hymenophyllaceae) native to the Waimea Valley, O’ahu, Hawaii. The leaf blade of a filmy fern is usually only one cell thick.
Filmy ferns are restricted to rainforest habitats that are continuously moistened by spray from waterfalls or seeps. They have existed since the Upper Triassic 200 mya., when many of the first dinosaurs evolved.
