Non-Flowering Plant Families, UH Botany The Polypodiaceae are mostly epiphytic or sometimes terrestrial ferns comprising about 50 genera and 550 mostly tropical species. The sporophyte consists of creeping rhizomes that give rise to simple, or less commonly, pinnate leaves. The rhizomes are covered with scales that are often peltate. The leaf axis and rhizome have several vascular bundles arranged in a circular pattern. The small, lens-shaped sporangia are usually long-stalked, and are borne in naked circular or continuous sori.
