8 most common species：
Struthiopteris
In the circumscription used in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the genus contains five species.
cleistoblechnum
Netted Chain Fern
Netted Chain Fern are a genus of ferns with one sole member, Lorinseria areolata. These ferns resemble and could be mistaken for the sensitive fern Onoclea sensibilis, which are generally taller. The ornamental ferns provide shade and are ideal for use as a ground cover in landscaping and gardens. Small mammals and songbirds take cover and are attracted to these plants.

Chain ferns
Chain ferns
Chain ferns are native to warm temperate and subtropical parts of the northern hemisphere. These are large plants; the largest ferns in North America, in fact. Their characteristic multi-fronded fern-like leaves are attractive enough to make them popular garden plants.

Distribution of the genus includes parts of Australia and New Zealand.
Salpichlaena
Salpichlaena
Anchistea
Anchistea
It has only one species. It has long creeping, scaly, underground stems or rhizomes giving rise to tall (up to about 1.2 m) widely separated, deciduous, single leaves. The leaf blade is green and lanceolate, composed of 12 to 23 paired, alternate pinnatifid pinnae. Anchistea is mostly found on the Atlantic coastal plain and Piedmont although it also grows in the eastern Great Lakes region as far west as Illinois.

Stenochlaena
Stenochlaena
Stenochlaena are a very small genus of ferns found throughout the Old World tropics and sub-tropics. Stenochlaena are very tall ferns that have a climbing growth habit - they're usually seen climbing high-up tree canopies in rainforests. They grow from a rhizome that can reach the crown of trees. However, the rhizome needs to maintain a connection to the soil, except for one epiphytic (air plant) species.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
