Phlebodium Decumanum
''Phlebodium'' is a small genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Polypodioideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas.Ferns of the World''Phlebodium''Flora of North America''Phlebodium''/ref>Germplasm Resources Information Network''Phlebodium''/ref> Its species were formerly included in ''Polypodium''. They are epiphytic ferns, with a creeping, densely hairy or scaly rhizome bearing fronds at intervals along its length. The fronds are evergreen, persisting for 1–2 years, and are pinnatifid. The sori or groups of spore-cases (sporangia) are borne on the back of the frond. Species , ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' accepted the following species: *''Phlebodium areolatum'' (Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd.) J.Sm., including ''Phlebodium araneosum'' (M.Martens & Galeotti) Mickel & Beitel and ''Phlebodium pseudoaureum'' (Cav.) Lellinger *''Phlebo ...

Fern
A fern (Polypodiopsida or Polypodiophyta ) is a member of a group of vascular plants (plants with xylem and phloem) that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. The polypodiophytes include all living pteridophytes except the lycopods, and differ from mosses and other bryophytes by being vascular, i.e., having specialized tissues that conduct water and nutrients and in having life cycles in which the branched sporophyte is the dominant phase. Ferns have complex leaves called megaphylls, that are more complex than the microphylls of clubmosses. Most ferns are leptosporangiate ferns. They produce coiled fiddleheads that uncoil and expand into fronds. The group includes about 10,560 known extant species. Ferns are defined here in the broad sense, being all of the Polypodiopsida, comprising both the leptosporangiate (Polypodiidae) and eusporangiate ferns, the latter group including horsetails, whisk ferns, marattioid ferns, and ophioglossoid ferns. Ferns first ...
