Acrostichum Aureum
卤蕨
Common Name: Swamp Fern, Mangrove Fern
Family Name: Pteridaceae
Description:
The golden leather fern has large fronds growing to a length of 1.8m (six feet). The leaves are glossy, broad and pinnate, the pinnae being dark green, leathery, alternate and widely spaced. The outer fronds arch over sideways but the central ones are nearly straight. Some of the larger fronds bear sporangia (reproductive organs) on the upper five to eight pairs of pinnae. These are brick red and give the pinnae a felted appearance.
