Polystichum acrostichoides
The Christmas fern is a lovely green plant that stays green all winter! It has long, feathery leaves that look like little hands reaching out. This fern is a great friend to many forest animals.
生息地: Forests
The Christmas fern has glossy, dark green fronds that remain evergreen through winter, unlike many deciduous ferns. Its unique leaflets are earlobe-shaped, often said to resemble tiny Christmas stockings. These leathery fronds grow in a vase-like cluster.
