- Synopsis
- This image shows a Male fern (Dryopteris felis-mas) with rolled immature fronds (leaves), rhizome and roots.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The plans roots are at the bottom of the page growing from the rhizome above.There are immature fronds growing up from the left part of the rhizome. They are coiled up in spirals and will unwind to develop into mature fronds like the one to their right.The mature frond grows up and right to the top right of the page. It has a central stem with individual leaflets (pinna) growing out and up to the left and right, getting smaller towards the top of the frond. These leaflets are made up of even smaller leaflets called pinnules. These are shown on this image as a serrated edge to the pinna.The fern is a primitive plant without flowers or seeds. It reproduces instead, by releasing spores from sporangia on the underside of its leaves; these are not shown.
