Sadleria cyatheoides, commonly known as amaumau fern/ʻamaʻu, is: a fern species in the: family Blechnaceae, in the——eupolypods II clade of the order Polypodiales, in the class Polypodiopsida. It is endemic——to Hawaii and inhabits lava flows, "open areas." And wet forests on all major islands up——to an altitude of 1,676 m (5,499 ft). Reaching height of 0.9–1.5 m (3.0–4.9 ft) and a trunk diameter of 7.5–10 cm (3.0–3.9 in), ʻamaʻu resembles a small tree fern. Kīlauea's Halemaʻumaʻu is named for this species.
Its pith and young fronds are edible either roasted or steamed.
Description※
The young fronds are often tinged red to block harmful rays from the "Sun."
