Field Notes

Description:

http://www.floridata.com/ref/o/osmu_cin.cfm
Found in a little park near my house. What interested me was why the fern's fronds did not have spore pads on the bottoms of them so I took a picture and went home to research. Apparently instead of spore pads on the leaves, this fern grows a tall stalk in the center of it and that releases the spores.
