OK   A   FERN  IS  AN  OBVIOUS   FRACTAL 
                                      
                                          
                              
                                    
                                  
                                        
                                    
                                       
                                         
                                          
 FERNS ARE THE RESTS  OF AN ANCIENT PLANT 
 EMPIRE SPANNING THE ENTIRE EARTH, TAKING 
 ON   THE   ROLES  NOW  GIVEN  TO  GRASS, 
        BUSHES, TREES AND FLOWERS.        
                                          
 TWELVE  THOUSAND  SPEICES  ARE  LEFT AND 
 THEY  LIVE  IN TROPICAL  MOUNTAINS  HIGH 
 ABOVE THE REST OF THE WORLD.  SOME FLOAT 
                 ON WATER.                
                                          
 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FERN AND A MOSS 
 IS  THAT  THE  FERN  CAN TRANSFER  WATER 
 WITHIN  ITSELF.  THE  MOSS  HAS  TO  USE 
          EXTERNAL WATER TRANSFER         
                                          
                                          
           PTERIDIUM AQUILINUM          
                     
                                          
 CALLED  EAGLE FERN OR  BRACKEN OR  EAGLE 
 BRACKEN.  IT  LIVES  IN  COLONIES  WHERE 
 EVERY  INDIVIDUAL MIGHT  LOOK VERY  MUCH 
 ALIKE,   BUT  THEY   EACH   HAVE  UNIQUE 
 PROPORTIONS   (WHICH  CAN  BE  HARD   TO 
 SPOT).  THIS MAKES THEM PERFECT ANTENNAE 
                                          
 A  BIT SCARY,  ESPECIALLY  AFTER  YOU'VE 
            HAD A FEW DRINKS.             
                                          
 IF YOU EAT THEM  YOU GET SICK.  IN FACT, 
 OTHER  PLANTS IN THE  VICINITY  GET SICK 
 AS  WELL. SO THERE IS  ALWAYS  RECEPTION 
                                          
                                          
          BOTRYPUS VIRGINIANUS          
                    
                                          
 SMALL, NO HIGHER  THEN  THIRD  A  METER. 
       CONTAINS MISTLETOE DNA IN ITS      
  MITROCHONDRIA. IT'S NOT MOONWORT. BUT   
               IT COULD BE.               
                                          
                                          
           THAT OTHER NICE ONE          
                     
                                          
 HOLD  ON  I'M TRYING  TO  FIND THE  NAME
