Davallia trichomanoides, also known as black rabbit's foot fern and squirrel foot fern, is a fern in the family Davalliaceae which is found in tropical Asia. Its height is from 15 to 45 cm. Partial or full shade is required for the growth of it. It can survive in dryness. They have pinnate leaves.[1] Like most ferns, it grows in line with apical dominance, in case of disturbances it is able to change the main stem of the plant.
