SAIN Resources about Ferns

Fern, or pteridophyte, is any one of a group of some twenty thousand species of plants classified in the Division Pterophyta or Filicophyta. A fern is defined as a vascular plant that reproduces by shedding spores to initiate an alternation of generations. New fronds arise by circinate vernation (unrolling leaf formation).
