At least one study has shown association between P. polypodioides and moss, [8] indicating that this fern may rely on moss for some of its water needs. Resurrection ferns rehydrated in their uncurled state. Resurrection ferns accumulate sugar in dehydrated cells in order to protect them and stabilize the membranes and proteins in the dry state.
Pleopeltis is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Polypodioideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).

Polypodium californicum is a species of fern known by the common name California polypody. It is native to Baja California and California , where it grows along the coastline as well as in moist spots in coastal foothills and mountain ranges in the southern part of its distribution.
A resurrection plant is any poikilohydric plant that can survive extreme dehydration, even over months or years. The resurrection plant Selaginella lepidophylla reviving within 3 hours after the addition of water. Examples include: Anastatica hierochuntica, also known as the Rose of Jericho, a plant species native to deserts of North Africa
Historically both lycophytes and monilophytes were grouped together as pteridophytes (ferns and fern allies) on the basis of being spore-bearing ("seed-free"). In Smith's molecular phylogenetic study the ferns are characterised by lateral root origin in the endodermis , usually mesarch protoxylem in shoots, a pseudoendospore, plasmodial tapetum ...
Woodwardia fimbriata, known by the common name giant chain fern, is an evergreen perennial fern species in the family Blechnaceae, in the eupolypods II clade [1] of the order Polypodiales, [2] in the class Polypodiopsida. [3] It is native to western North America from British Columbia through California, including the Sierra Nevada, into Baja ...
