Ferns are an ancient plant group know as (pteridophyta) which likely gave rise to seed plants. they were dominant during the Pennsylvanian & Mississippian Periods. Fossil records contain evidence of "seed ferns" that bore seeds directly on the fronds know as (pteridospermophyta).

Osmundaceae are unique in that their small rhizomes or stems grow upright not horizontal.
They also support a cluster of fronds.
