King fern (Ptisana salicina) can be seen in the wild. King fern gets its regal name from its size since it grows immense fronds that measure up to 5 m in length. This plant is in danger and is classed as At risk - declining under the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS).
Ptisana fraxinea is a primordial plant resembling a tree fern, with a thick, woody trunk and a lush canopy of arching, divided fronds. Its tall stature, often exceeding two meters, allows it to thrive under forest canopies, capturing filtered sunlight. Unique kidney-shaped spore cases cluster beneath its fronds, signaling this ancient species' lineage that dates back to prehistoric times.
Ptisana attenuata is characterized by its slender, elongated fronds that reach upwards, resembling a tapered spearhead. This plant possesses a delicate grace, often thriving in moist, shaded environments where it unfurls its fern-like leaves. Adapted for survival under the forest canopy, its foliage exhibits an impressive resilience, adding a touch of verdant elegance to the understory habitat.
