Pterophytes or fern are the most diverse phylum of seedless plants, containing approximately 11000 species (in at least 17 families), about three quarters of which are found in the tropics.
Leaves are diverse in size and shape; size varying from just 1cm to up to 5m in some tree ferns. The fronds are coiled and unfurl as the plant grows.
Sporangia are often on the underside of leaves.
