How our relationship with this plant has changed over time.
This fern existed as a quiet part of the understory in tropical rainforests. Its presence was noted by local people through traditional knowledge of plant habitats.
Early botanists began to categorize ferns of this type as global trade routes opened. Specimens were collected and dried for study in herbariums across the world.
You now find this plant in specialized collections. Gardeners provide it with the high humidity it requires to thrive away from the tropics.
