"Plant the divisions to the same depth as the original plant, so the crown isn't buried too deep or too shallow," says Irish-Hanson. Burying the crown too deep can cause the fern to rot, but ...
Sometimes called the potato fern, this is a large fern with an edible fleshy rhizome that is used as a food source by some indigenous peoples. The East-Asian genus Christensenia is named in honor of the Danish pteridologist Carl Christensen is an uncommon fern with distinctive fronds resembling a horse chestnut leaf, hence the species ...
Pteridophytes (ferns and lycophytes) are free-sporing vascular plants that have a life cycle with alternating, free-living gametophyte and sporophyte phases that are independent at maturity. The body of the sporophyte is well differentiated into roots, stem and leaves. The root system is always adventitious. The stem is either underground or ...
Asparagus setaceus, with the common names of common asparagus fern, asparagus grass, [2] lace fern, climbing asparagus, or ferny asparagus, is a climbing plant in the family Asparagaceae native to southern Africa. [3] Despite its common name, the plant is not a true fern, but has leaves that resemble one. [4]
The use of C. richardii in genetic research studies has been valuable to understanding fern and plant evolution as a whole, and in 2019 "C-fern" became the first homosporous fern to have its genome partially assembled, thus acting as a reference genome to which other ferns can be compared. [9]
Like most other vittarioid ferns, members of the genus have simple, straplike leaves. Most species lack a costa (midrib), although a few have a partial one, and the leaves are generally more than 1 centimetre (0.4 in) wide. The leaves have netlike venation, with three or more rows of areolae ("gaps" in the net of veins) on either side of the ...
Fernery at Rippon Lea, Australia A fernery at the Geelong Botanic Gardens (1892–1902). A fernery is a specialized garden for the cultivation and display of ferns.. In many countries, ferneries are indoors or at least sheltered or kept in a shadehouse to provide a moist environment, filtered light and protection from frost and other extremes; on the other hand, some ferns native to arid ...
The plant is thalloid in form, and exhibits indeterminate growth. It is profusely branched, and 1 cell-layer thick. Gametangia are rarely produced. The archegonia have short necks and the venter (base) is partly sunk into the thallus. The antheridia are like those of polypodialean ferns in that they consist of a basal cell, a ring cell, and a ...
