Autumn fern
Autumn fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) is an evergreen fern whose new fronds emerge as reddish-orange in spring, providing a colorful contrast against the dark green mature fronds. It prefers partial shade to full shade. Grows best in moist to wet, organically-rich soil.
Silver cloak fern
Silver cloak fern is unusual among ferns for its drought tolerance. The name "silver cloak fern" comes from the waxy, scaly, silver-white coating underneath its leaves. In dry spells, the plant conserves water by curling its leaves up to expose its more protected undersides. Small and prostrate, silver cloak fern is not popular as a potted plant, but is often purchased for temperate rock gardens or drought-friendly gardens.
Halberd fern
The halberd fern is a small- to medium-sized terrestrial fern that grows near water sources in dense forests. Its family is referred to as "halberd ferns" due to the shape of its leaves, which resemble the Medieval-era poleaxe.
Leveille's swamp fern
A small, perennial fern with a creeping rhizome, leveille's swamp fern grows on humus-covered rocks in tropical and subtropical mountain rainforests. It is often mistaken for the closely-related species, Cyclogramma omeiensis, with the two formerly treated as one species.
Pteridrys cnemidaria
Despite being written about in the 1930s, little information is available concerning pteridrys cnemidaria. However, its Chinese name - in Pinyin, bào yè yá jué - roughly translates to "thin-leaved" or "thin-toothed fern", possibly reflecting its rows of skinny, sharp leaves.
Pleocnemia submembranacea
Pleocnemia submembranacea is a perennial herb in the Woodfern family that has been commonly mistaken for several other species of Woodfern due to the inconsistent presence of indusia on its pinule.
Tree fern
Tree fern is a small fern tree that grows at a slow rate, and it may take a decade to reach over 5 m tall. It is considered one of the archaic ferns and is relatively rare in nature. Unlike most tree ferns, this species has bipinnate leaves.
Virginia chain fern
Virginia chain fern (Anchistea virginica) is a fern found primarily along North America's East Coast, though its habitat extends as far west as Illinois. These plants grow in the wet soils of bogs, acidic swamps, and along riversides. This fern reproduces through creeping underground rhizomes that sprout individual leaf stalks which can reach up to 1.2 m when fully grown.
