Ferns are the most abundant group of

seedless vascular plants, with about

12,000 living species. Recent research indicates

that they may be the closest relatives

to the seed plants. The fossil record

indicates that ferns originated during the Devonian period

about 350 million years ago and became abundant and varied

in form during the next 50 million years. Their apparent

ancestors had no broad leaves and were established on

land as much as 375 million years ago.
