Microlepia strigosa, known as hay-scented fern, lace fern, rigid lace fern and palapalai, is a fern indigenous to the Hawaiian islands and is also native to other parts of the tropics and subtropics including India and Malaysia. This fern belongs to a group of about seventy Microlepia species in the bracken or hay-scented fern family (Dennstaedtiaceae).

Microlepia strigosa belongs to the Microlepia genus within the Dennstaedtiaceae family. It performs reliably across temperate, subtropical zones in our experience.
