One of the tropical tassel ferns growing in the greenhouse at Appalachian State University. There were three different species in that planter, but I'm pretty sure the name tag went with this one. The origin was listed as West Tropical Queensland on the label.
One of the tropical tassel ferns growing in the greenhouse at Appalachian State University, producing spores in strobili at the end of the branches. The label indicated that this plant was collected at "ABG" which I assume means Abingdon Airport, Australia.
One of the tropical tassel ferns growing in the greenhouse at Appalachian State University. The leaves further up looked longer, so I'm assuming these could be the reproductive strobili. The origin was given as Malaysia on the label.
