Polypodiopsida (Ferns)

We do not have the proliferation of ferns that exists in New England or Florida, for example. We do, however, have some small and very beautiful creatures in this class. As we are living on the Boulder Creek Batholith,an igneous dome, our ferns are all living in and around granite outcrops.
