Moranopteris achilleifolia is a species of fern in the family Polypodiaceae. It is native to Brazil and Argentina. [1] [2] It is also placed in the genus Grammitis. [2]
Under the synonym Polypodium piligerum, in 2003, it was regarded as endemic to Ecuador and threatened by habitat loss. [3] However, more recent sources do not record it as occurring in Ecuador. [1] [2]
