Ferns and Fern Allies

Green, the color of growth or surgent life enwraps the land. New green, still as individual as the plants themselves. …

Hal Borland (1900-1978)

Ferns and Fern Allies are vascular plants that reproduce by spores instead of seeds.

Some Plant Types are based on botanical differences (grasses, ferns, slime molds, fungus) while others are just arbitrary groups based on appearance (vines, trees, wildflowers) or popular interest (orchids, carnivorous plants).
