Found a very cool little limestone seep in a park that is otherwise pretty bereft of ferns and mosses.

Pteris vittata, aka Chinese brake, ladder brake, or Chinese ladder brake, is the first plant identified to be able to hyperaccumulate arsenic and reduce its quantities in soil. Scientists have been proposing for a while that this fern could be useful in phytoremediation (extracting and removing/reducing the amount of elemental pollutants in soil).

Ranges from the Channel Islands and Los Angeles County southward into Baja California usually in proximity to the Pacific Ocean , although there are a few inland populations according to CalFlora range map for the species. The common name comes from the sticky fluid it exudes, unique within the genus Pentagramma. Photographed at Regional Park Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA

This nifty little plant is actually a fern called Doryopteris pilosa. It is often incorrectly labelled as D. cordata. What you see are the sterile fronds. The fertile fronds look much more fern-like and lift well above the rest of the plant, no doubt in order to use the breeze to disperse its spores. This species hails from South Africa. #ferns #fernsofinstagram #fernstagram #plant #plantsofinstagram #plantoftheday #botany #botanical #botanizing #garfieldconservatory #chicago #botanicalgarden #conservatory #nature #SouthAfrica #fronds #pteridophyte #pteridaceae #Doryopteris

#2240 - Adiantum cunninghamii - Cunningham's Maidenhair

From the Greek a- ‘without, lacking’ and diantos ‘moistened’ because the fronds of this fern are supposed to remain dry after submersion in water, and Allan Cunningham (1791–1839) an English botanist and explorer, primarily known for his travels to New South Wales and New Zealand to collect plants. Author of Florae Insularum Novae Zelandiae Precursor, 1837–40 (Introduction to the flora of New Zealand).

An Aotearoan endemic, common in coastal and lowland forest areas grows on banks and among boulders especially on limestone, marble, basalt or andesite rocks. The rhizome creeps widely once established. Dark green on top of frond and a blue-green underneath.

2014-12-21-15.06.17 ZS PMax Cheilanthes covillei by John Rusk Via Flickr: Myriopteris covillei (Syn Cheilanthes covellei)—Colville's lip fern. "This fern has green leaves which may be up to 4-pinnate, that is, made up of leaflets that subdivide 3 times, such that the leaflets are layered with overlapping rounded segments. The leaves have a bumpy, cobbled look. The undersides of the leaves have scales which are lengthened outgrowths of the epidermis. Tucked under the scales are the sporangia, which make the spores" (Wikipedia, Cheilanthes covillei.) The frond is from a plant at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA
