Chain fern (Woodwardia radicans)

A fern of the family of the Blechnaceae. It has fronds of up to 3 metres in length, pinnate or pinnatipartite. It develops some bulbs at the end of the frond which may give rise to new plants if they find a suitable place to take root. They live in the woodlands in very moist areas and on the shady walls of ravines.
