distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of over 40 species of terrestrial, or almost scandent, epiphytic ferns usually found in flooded sites in tropical forest in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Creeping rhizomes produce entire and simple to pinnatifid or pinnate sterile fronds, often with plantlets near the tips. Fertile fronds are usually taller and narrower than sterile fronds, with black sporangia beneath. In frost-prone areas, they are best grown in the border of a warm greenhouse, to allow a free root run, but may also be grown in containers. In frost-free areas, grow in a bog garden or by a stream.

hardiness_en: Frost tender.

cultivation_en:

propagation_en: Sow spores at 21°C (70°F) as soon as ripe. Root plantlets as soon as they appear. See also p.51.
