Read about Ophioglossum in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Ophioglossum (Greek, serpent's tongue). Ophioglossaceae. About 40 species of small plants allied to true ferns, of wide distribution. The sts. are subterranean, small, bearing usually a single erect succulent If. which consists of a petiole, an expanded simple blade, and a contracted fertile spike bearing 2 rows of fleshy coalescent sporangia; venation reticulate. Rather difficult of cult., and mainly of interest as curiosities.
