Pteris semipinnata is a fern species in the Pteridoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae.[1] It is mainly distributed in tropical regions, such as southern China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and northern India.[2] It is also found in Japan (Ryukyu Islands) and Bhutan.[3] Pteris semipinnata grows in open forests, on the acid soil near streams or rocks, below 900 meters above sea level.[4] It is native to Hong Kong[5] and Taiwan.[6] It should also be native to China (According to the description of Flora of China (series) for the content of "Flora of China"). In any case, Hong Kong is currently a city in China, so it can be said that Pteris semipinnata is native to China.
