It is understood that Yulong fern belongs to Lepidopteraceae, is a rare and cold-resistant fern produced in China, and is a national first-class protected plant in China. It was discovered for the first time near the snow line of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which has important scientific research value.
Yulong fern is mainly produced in Bomi in eastern Tibet, Lijiang and Shangri-La in northwestern Yunnan, Muli, Daocheng, Mount Emei in southwestern Sichuan, Zhouqu in Gansu, and Central Mountains in Taiwan.

Due to the influence of the ecological environment and its own adaptation and genetic mechanism, the reproductive capacity of Yulong fern is very low, the distribution area is narrow, and the individuals are extremely rare.
