A Photographic Guide to Ferns of New Zealand

Ferns occur in great abundance in New Zealand - there are nearly 200 native species alone occurring everywhere from the coast through to the country's alpine regions. Then there are the fern allies – including clubmosses and forkferns which have an even longer fossil history than ferns. However most of the ferns and fern allies described in A Photographic Guide to Ferns of New Zealand are the commoner species that are more likely to be seen when journeying around the New Zealand countryside.
