Uluhe Fern

 

This fern will grow in sun or shade, but it's most interesting characteristic is its bifurcating branching. Each frond splits into two more fronds and each of these develop two more fronds. In this way the fern is able to crawl almost everywhere, including climbing trees. It is important in controlling erosion as it can grow on vertical hillsides. It is reported to be a hiker's nightmare, with its vine-like growth and prickly stems. Additionally it can reach 10 feet in height, so be advised: this plants may be worse than doghobble as far as getting through it.
