DESCRIPTION
California native perennial fern grows in shaded places, cliff bluffs,rocks, not on plants, usually granite or volcanic. Summer deciduous
Rhizome: long-creeping, lanceolate brown scales,
Petiole/Stipe
Blade: deltate to ovate, midrib adaxially hairy, segments serrate, tips obtuse to acute, veins generally 10--50% fused.
Sori: exindusiate, sunken, round to generally ovate, somtimes has glandular hairs, yellow spores
family dgined by sori exindusiate
Funfact: The genus is mainly epiphytic , meaning grows on rocks and trees of the ground. Poly pod means many foot describe the knobby foot/base they usually have obvioius in species like staghorn ferns. The genus polypod is also distinguished by having exindusiate sori
you think you know suffering? can you look me in the eyes and tell me you have experienced a pain worse than trying to learn how to identify grass? do you know what an awn is? have you heard of a lemna? you want me to get my little microscope out and be able to know what the achene is supposed to be? what the fuck. what the fuck are these words. You want me to pull apart this miniscule piece of shit with my hungry hungry hands? what am I? a fucking surgeon? no, no don't point out what the glumes are. I don't want to know anymore. get me out. get me out. get me out of here-
Oh my god how have I not found this before. It lets you toggle between photos of the flowers, leaves, fruits and seeds. It shows a map of where the plant is native. It gives you links to like 12 websites with more info about the plant. Amazing

Plant body various, leaves various, plant free-floating, emergent, or submersed
Plant raft-like, free-floating on water surface or stranded along shore or in drying bottom sediments, breaking apart into individuals or small clumps
Plant body differentiated into a short, often branched stem with small, minutely velvety-papillate, scale-like leaves

DESCRIPTION
Annual Fern, California Native, usually found in ponds and slow streams. Small free floating fern on mud/water roots. Green to +- red. with white margins ,round to elongate plants to 3 cm, 2 cm wide.
Roots Rhizome: roots hang in water, form dense clump
Leaf: small overlapping scale like leaves cover stem, leaf has sublte papillae, green-red
Sporangium Case: clear yellowish orb, female with distinct equatorial girdle, wall tubercled and pitted. male spores mass barbs lacking partition
Fun facts: Used as green manure in rice paddies because of nitrogen-fixing algae (cyanobacterium Ananbaena Azollae) in upper leaf lobe. Made fossil fuels and can double it mass in 3 day
