Elsewhere in the reserve, unusual ferns include moonwort and adder's-tongue, plus parsley fern in higher, rockier areas. |
I have the wild rosehip, and the flat shield of the moonwort, and a pea-pod, and more whose names I know not. |
Only a small portion of moonwort populations emerge above the forest floor's leaves and needles. |
Those with a keen eye may even spot the rare moonwort growing among the short grasses. |
There's also a rare fern, the moonwort, which the county was once awash with, but that can now only be found in Draycote Meadows. |
Slender moonwort is a small perennial fern with pale green leaves two to seven inches long. |
