Dense thicket of pitchfork ferns in a Southeast Asian tropical forest #220845608
Description
Some species of ferns, e.g. Dicranopteris linearis, D. linearis and Gleichenia truncata are commonly referred to as pitchfork ferns, due to the branching nature of their fronds. These ferns can spread rapidly and form thickets in sunny spots which can be so dense that nothing grows below them.
