Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus' is a cultivar of Microsorum musifolium (Blume) Copel. Synonymous with and also known as Polypodium musifolium, is an epiphytic fern that is native to the Malaysian Archipelago. Elongated, entire, strap-like blades can grow to 60cm long in pots, but to 120 cm long in its native tropical habitat. Sori appear on the frond undersides along the veins. Frond texture (clathrate scales) somewhat resembles the scaled texture of crocodile skin, hence the sometimes used common name of crocodile fern.
Genus name comes from the Greek mikros meaning small and soros meaning a heap for the cluster of spore capsules.
Specific epithet means with leaves like those of the genus Musa.
