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
