Loxogramme chinensis

Loxogramme chinensis

Loxogramme chinensis is an evergreen fern native to East Asia. While it has not been traditionally used in any known medical practices, studies have focused on its genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships within the fern family. Research indicates significant structural variations in the plastomes of Loxogramme chinensis, including large inversions and gene losses, which support a well-supported phylogeny for fern families. These findings provide a robust backbone phylogeny that may differ from current views but are interpreted with morphological traits. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
