Polypody

Polypody encompasses a family of ferns notable for their diverse leaf shapes and growth forms, ranging from creeping to erect. These ferns typically thrive in moist, shaded environments. Their fronds, often leathery in texture, consist of simple or divided leaves that bear spores on their undersides, crucial for reproduction. This adaptability allows polypody to colonize a variety of habitats, from forest floors to rocky outcrops.
