Types of Doryopteris

Geranium fern

Geranium fern(Doryopteris concolor) is commonly known as a resurrection fern due to its ability to recover from long periods of drought after curling inwards to protect itself. It can totally dry out and then recover fully when re-exposed to water. Its specific epithet, concolor, means "uniform in color."

Digit fern

Though it looks more like a maple leaf than a fern, the digit fern is definitely part of the fern family, working well in borders, terrariums, or containers. The digit fern is so named because of its finger-like leaves, which make it look like a hand! Even the genus name has something to do with its looks: it comes from the Greek words meaning "spear fern." digit fern can grow out several new fronds in less than a week, making it very popular as an indoor pot plant.
