Lygodium palmatum
The only native species of climbing fern in the US. The smaller leaves produce the spores.
Cumberland trail, Obed section
Thanks NatralList!
thanks Emma, I will check it out!
lovely! You must check out Scott Rasmussens mission on ferns. You might not be able to join it ,but very interesting.
It's the first time I've ever seen a climbing fern Leana so it's interesting to find there are species of this around the world.
There's one such fern growing outside our fence before in the Philippines. I tried transplanting it but it usually dies :(
Claire, apparently it only grows in a few places & they haven't been able to successfully transplant or propagate it.
We have an exotic Lygodium japonicum that is a terrible pest in Florida. I wasn't even aware of a native species..neat.
