Ferns & Fern Allies

The Pine Barrens is not particularly rich in ferns, but it does have several prominent and beautiful species.

Ferns are vascular plants that reproduce by means of spores. (The so-called “fern-allies” share these characteristics, but are not closely related.) Fortunately, we have here several very different kinds of ferns, and the diversity provides a very worthwhile field of investigation.
