Old world forked fern (Dicranopteris linearis) spreads via underground rhizomes, cloning itself and growing over other vegetation into dense thickets. It is a common sight in forests across Asia and Polynesia. Old world forked fern is of particular importance in Hawaii since it is a first-growth species that is able to colonize land cleared by lava flows.
Dichotomy forked fern (Dicranopteris pedata) is a fern with creeping rhizomes that can be found in East Asia. It grows on hillsides and mountainous slopes. It is used for a variety of purposes. Dichotomy forked fern has been used to stabilize the soil on hillsides near Hong Kong, while other communities view it as a weed.
Drooping forked fern is a tropical fern characterized by its arching, branch-like fronds that form dense thickets. Its leaves spread in a distinctive V-shape, with finely divided leaflets giving it a delicate, feathery appearance. This sprawling fern thrives in humid environments, typically covering forest floors, which aids in soil stabilization and moisture retention. Visually striking, drooping forked fern is an essential species in its ecosystem, providing cover and playing a role in water and soil conservation.
