Caobangia squamata is a species of fern known only from Vietnam and from Guangxi Province in southern China. It is the only known species in its genus, distinctive because of the long, reddish-brown hair-like scales on the leaves. The plant is an herb spreading by rhizomes. Leaves are simple, elliptical. Sori are round, on the underside of the leaves. Spores white.
