Marsilea quadrifolia

A fern often called “water clover” has leaves that mimic clovers but grows in aquatic environments. Unlike most ferns, it reproduces using sporocarps, tough, bean-like structures that can survive droughts for years, waiting for water to germinate!

Notholaena standleyi

The Desert Cloak Fern thrives in arid deserts. Its waxy, reflective fronds reduce water loss, and it curls up during droughts, rehydrating quickly after rain (poikilohydry). Growing in rocky crevices, it survives extreme heat and uses chemicals to deter herbivores.

Polypodium aureum

Golden Serpent Fern has an ability to accumulate trichomes (tiny hair-like structures) on its leaves, which give it a silvery-blue appearance

The trichomes help it survive in environments with fluctuating water availability by reducing water loss and reflecting excess sunlight
