Quick Overview:

The Hart’s Tongue Fern is a readily distinguishable species of fern, and is very graceful and beautiful, contrasting, as it does, with the feathery appearance so common in other ferns. It grows in tufts; the fronds, which are evergreen, are oblong, strap-shaped, and simple: they vary in length from six inches to a foot and a half. At first they appear erect and stiff, but afterwards assume a pendulous habit, spreading out in a circular manner from the clumps of roots which are so well known in every rural district. The sori are arranged at short intervals on the upper portion of the frond, in the direction of the veins.
