Curly-grass

Curly-grass comprises a family of ancient ferns, recognizable by their delicate, often curly fronds that emerge from creeping rhizomes. Uniquely, their spore-bearing structures, split into filamentous segments, enhance spore dispersal efficiently. Adapted to moist, shaded habitats, curly-grass's growth is optimized in these stable, humid environments, reflecting their evolutionary heritage.
