Resembling or having characteristics similar to the acrostichum fern; acrostichoid in form or function.
From acrostichum plus Greek '-oid' (resembling), describing things that look like or function like acrostichum ferns.
The '-oid' suffix is like saying 'looks like' or 'works like'—so acrostichoid ferns resemble acrostichum in their spore arrangement but aren't quite the same thing botanically.
