Unknown Plant
Bird Nest Fern
The Bird's Nest Fern has a short stem which bears a rosette of fronds to form a "nest". The stem is usually not visible from the top. The nest traps fallen leaves and other debris which eventually decompose to humus. Beneath the nest of fronds is a large spongy, mass of roots which are covered by the reflexed dead leaves. In this way, the plant provides its own food and water and can continue to grow in a soilless condition as long as it is not left to dry out for too long.
