Polypodium (Greek, many feet; alluding to the extensive rootstocks). Polypodiaceae. A large group of ferns, some hardy and some tender; the latter are often grown in under-glass collections.

Ferns with naked rounded sori, and with the lvs. jointed to the rootstocks, leaving a scar when they separate. As here treated the veins may be free or united to form aréoles. The genus is a very extensive one, growing in all parts of the world, and has frequently been divided into a series of genera based on habit and the nature of venation, which is probably a more logical treatment; some of these genera, indeed, as Phymatodes and Phlebodium, have here been separated; the genus would be more homogeneous were others placed by themselves. See comments in connection with P. Lingua and P. Phyllitidis. For culture, see Fern. CH
