是分佈最廣的鹿角蕨，蹤跡遍佈東南亞，屬於大型的多芽鹿角蕨，叢生的植株可以超過2公尺。葉片有兩種型態：上方的盾狀葉為營養葉，高聳開展，長度可達1公尺，頂端分裂有如皇冠，因而得名，而且全年青翠，不像其他種類鹿角蕨會由綠轉褐；下方的帶狀葉為孢子葉，二叉分裂像下垂的鹿角，長度可達3公尺，栽培時需要有足夠空間。

The large multi-bud Elkhorn Fern is the most widely distributed Elkhorn Fern, spreading over Southeast Asia. Those grow in clusters can exceed 2 meters long. There are two types of fronds: the upper shield-shaped ones are basal fronds, towering and unfolding, up to 1 meter in length. The lobes split at the top are like a crown, hence the name. It is green throughout the year, unlike other types of Elkhorn Ferns that would turn brown; the strap-shaped fronds below are fertile and dichotomous like drooping antlers which can reach 3 meters in length. Sufficient space is required for the growth in cultivation.

鹿角蕨屬多年生草本，原產南亞至東南亞多芽且大型的鹿角蕨，葉分二型。盾狀為營養葉，因為皇冠般叢生的營養葉而得名，厚而高大頂部分裂，長度可達1公尺；帶狀葉為孢子葉，孢子葉長而扭曲，多回的二叉分裂，長度可達3公尺。

A perennial fern with multiple buds and large staghorn ferns in the genus Platycerium, native from South Asia to Southeast Asia. It bears two types of fronds – basal and fertile fronds. Shield-shaped nutrient fronds grow in crown-like clusters and that’s how its Chinese name comes from. Basal fronds are thick and tall, apical lobes could be up to 1 meter long; strap-shaped fertile fronds are long and twisted; and dichotomous fronds can grow up to 3 meters long.

全日照環境種植下生長較為快速，在半日照也可以生長，夏天需遮陰。由於生長在熱帶地區，冬天要注意保暖，勿澆水過多 容易造成水傷。繁殖常採用分株繁殖，孢子囊群獨立生長於湯匙狀的孢子葉上。

It grows faster in full sun, moderately in partial shade and needs shaded in summer. As a native tropical plant, it needs to be kept warm in winter. Overwatering will cause water damage. Propagated mostly by ramets. Sporangia are grown independently on spoon-shaped spore fronds.

特殊的型態深受喜愛，常用於表現花藝、景觀設計作品中，亦或在居家栽培中懸掛在高牆上做為壁飾植栽，由於皇冠鹿角蕨孢子葉較為巨大，多用來懸吊栽培，型同吊飾。

The unique look makes it a popular ornamental plant widely used in floral design works or mounted on a wall as a domestic ornamental plant. As the fertile fronds are large, they are usually planted in suspension as pendulous ornaments.
