貫眾蕨屬多年生草本，原產東亞溫帶至亞熱帶氣候區，臺灣亦有分布，生長於海岸以及低、中海拔山區乾旱環境。地生蕨類植物。直立根莖短，有黑褐色鱗毛。葉叢生，１回羽狀複葉，側羽片鐮刀狀，全緣或有不規則粗齒，孢子囊群著生於游離小脈頂端，孢膜圓形。

A perennial herb in the genus Cyrtomium, native to temperate to subtropical climate zones in East Asia, also on the coast and arid environments of low and medium altitude mountains in Taiwan. A terrestrial fern. Rhizome erect and short, with dark brown scales. Fronds clustered, unipennate compound, lateral pinnate sickle-shaped, entire or irregularly serrated. Sori borne on the top of free veins, indusium round.

全日照或半日照溫暖及冷涼環境，生長強健，耐高溫與低溫以及乾旱、貧瘠。使用排水良好的砂質壤土或培養土種植。介質乾燥才澆水，根系忌潮濕。幼株可以每季施用一次長效性綜合肥料，成株不需要施肥。繁殖使用播孢子。

The ferns thrives in full-sun or partial-sun and cold environments. The sturdy fern can tolerate heat and cold, drought and barrenness. Use well-drained sandy loam or culture soil for plant. Water only when the medium appears dry to avoid waterlogging the root system. Applied with a slow-release compound fertilizer for the young plants once a season, and adult ones do not require fertilization. Propagated from seeds.

葉片造型優雅、羽片光亮潔淨，適合種植於濱海地區綠化使用，庭院可密植作為管理粗放的地被植物。幼株可作為小盆栽欣賞或組合盆栽的材料，操作時要注意較硬的羽片會扎手。莖可以代替貫眾使用，具有清熱解毒，收斂止血與驅除寄生蟲的功效。

The plant is grown for the elegant blades and glossy pinnules, suitable to be planted in coastal areas for greening purposes, or densely planted as ground cover in yards which require minimal care. The young ones can be planted in a small pot or as a material of mixed planters. Be careful with the thorny pinnae when handling the plant. The stem can substitute Cyrtomium fortunei in medicinal applications such as clearing away heat, detoxifying, astringent, hemostasis and repelling parasites.
