About Newberry's Lip Fern (Myriopteris newberryi) 0 Nurseries Carry This Plant Myriopteris newberryi is a species of lip fern known by the common names of Cotton Fern or Newberry's lip fern. It is native to southern California and Baja California, where it grows in rocky places in mostly dry habitat such as the California chaparral and woodlands. The Cheilanthes newberryi fern has leaves up to about 30 centimeters long which are coated in matted white, gray, or brownish hairs. Each leaf is made up of subdivided segments where the ultimate segment is oval in shape, mostly flat, and hard to visualize due to its thick coat of hairs.
