The ferns constitute an ancient division of vascular plants, a few of them as old because the Carboniferous Period (beginning about 359 million years ago) and in all probability older.
Their form of life cycle, dependent upon spores for dispersal, long preceded the seed-plant life cycle.
Ferns are most often found in moist, forested areas because they require loads of water.
Ferns are abundant in all damp situations in New Zealand forests, forming the undergrowth beneath a dense canopy of evergreen trees.
