Doryopteris angelica is a rare fern species, known by the common name Kauai digit fern. It is endemic to Hawaii where only small populations are known.

The ferns grow on slopes in Hawaiian tropical rainforests habitat, and have been found only on the island of Kaua{{okina}}i. It was federally listed as an endangered species in 2010.

Taxonomy

Doryopteris angelica is closely related to Doryopteris decora, and was first described as a separate species in 1999. It is now placed in the Cheilanthoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae.
