Dendroconche annabellae is a species of fern in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae.

It grows from long, creeping rhizomes, that are flattened from top to bottom and have occasional cavities.

The spore-bearing leaves (fertile leaves) have the same shape at the base, but then have a long narrow "tail", up to 28 cm long and 1 cm across, which curves away from the tree trunk and bears the round sori in a single row.

The orb-shaped leaves that tightly clasp the tree on which the plant grows were a major distinguishing feature.

Studies from 2006 onwards showed that Microsorum was not monophyletic and that M. linguiforme was more closely related to Lecanopteris.
