Pteridophyta (Fern)

Ferns grow well in abandoned fields like this one next to my house. Plenty of them also thrive well in and near my farm. 
There are 12,000 species in this world and the fossils dated  back to 360 millions year. 
Unlike ordinary plants, thiese vascular plants do not produce flowers or seeds. They spread by releasing spores. 
In Sarawak, people like to harvest the young rolling-up fern tips and cook as vegetables. The locals call the plants Bidin. This plant is not only nice to eat but also healthy to eat as it is not sprayed with pesticide.
