Types of Icarus

Thread fern

Thread fern grows only in New Zealand and is the only known species in its genus. It creeps on the ground and climbs on other plants and is unusual for having three distinct frond types: one with round leaves, one with pointed leaves that it uses to climb, and a third that appears thread-like, which produces fertile spoors.
