distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of approximately 10 species of evergreen or deciduous, terrestrial ferns found in damp, sheltered places in warm-temperate regions of Eurasia and North America. Some are creeping plants, found in acid bogs. Most are large, often with spreading and arching, usually pinnate fronds with pinnatifid pinnae, unfurling in spring; bulbils may be produced towards the tips of the fronds or on their upper surfaces. The chain-like arrangement of the sori on the undersides of the pinnae gives rise to the common name. Use to clothe a moist, shady bank, ideally near water.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost hardy.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow spores at 16°C (61°F) in late summer or early autumn. Remove bulbils in autumn. Divide in spring. See also p.51.
