Field Notes

Description:

Has thick leathery leaves and is very big. About 5 feet across and 4 feet in height. Has a type of brown thing on the bottom of the leaves that comes off easily. A fern that grown remarkably fast when there is a big brake in the forest. It sucks up all the sunlight and uses it as energy.

Habitat:

In big open space with lots of sun. In a rainforest so its damp and humid. leaves littered all over the place. the closest plant growing is about 4 feet away.
