Cryptogramma stelleri, common names slender cliff-brake, fragile rock-brake, slender rock-brake, and Steller's rockbrake, is a plant found in North America.[1] It is listed as endangered in Connecticut, [2] Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It is listed as threatened in Maine and New Hampshire, as exploitably vulnerable in New York (state) and as sensitive in Washington (state). [1]
Cryptogramma stelleri is known to be able to use artificial light to grow in places which are otherwise devoid of natural light, such as Crystal Cave in Wisconsin.[3]
