Bird Ferns /[burd furn]/ v [roxglish]
1. Aspleniums with an erect rhizome, unbranched, and forming a single growing tip. Their  fronds (lamina) are simple and form a regular rosette, usually upright, which makes a nest at the bottom capable of  holding litter in the form of leaves, bird droppings, etc. The sori form long rows extending out from the  midrib on the back of the outer part of the lamina. [See Bird's Nest Ferns]
