Polypodium

It was not for some time that it was discovered that by Paul Podgam he meant the polypodium fern. ❋ E.V. Lucas (N/A)

One especially elegant polypodium growing on the ground has fronds about 6 or 7 feet long, and sometimes as much as 20 feet, and of proportionate width. ❋ Francis Edward Younghusband (1902)

Another fig envelops some of its branches, two umbrella-trees cling stubbornly to its sides, a pandanus palm grows comfortably at the base of a limb, tons of staghorn, bird's-nest, polypodium, and other epiphytal ferns, have licence to flourish, orchids hang decoratively, and several shrubs spring aspiringly among its roots. ❋ Unknown (1887)

From a ledge in which ferns and orchids grew in careless profusion -- bird's-nest fern and polypodium and white-flowering orchid -- the crystal might be reached by a little manoeuvring. ❋ Unknown (1887)

Glossy, formal bird's-nest ferns and irregular mass of polypodium edged with fawn-coloured, infertile fronds fringe the sea-ward ending. ❋ Unknown (1887)

The ferns were developed in remarkable beauty and size -- aspidiums, one of which is about six feet high, a woodsia, lomaria, and several species of polypodium. ❋ John Muir (1876)

I have seen three aspidiums, two woodsias, a lomaria, polypodium, cheilanthes, and several species of pteris. ❋ John Muir (1876)

Naturally enough the greater number are rock ferns -- pellaea, cheilanthes, polypodium, adiantum, woodsia, cryptogramma, etc., with small tufted fronds, lining cool glens and fringing the seams of the cliffs. ❋ John Muir (1876)

(thymus alpinus), ferus (polypodium), the whortleberry (vitis idoea), ground ivy, and other climbing plants producing a wonderful effect. ❋ Erckmann-Chatrian (N/A)

Glossy, formal bird’s-nest ferns and irregular mass of polypodium edged with fawn-coloured, infertile fronds fringe the sea-ward ending. ❋ Unknown (2003)
