カニクサが胞子をつけていました。シダ植物のなかまでは珍しくつる性です。茎が他の植物に巻き付きながら成長して葉を出しているように見えますが、実際は、地上に出た1枚の葉がつる状になって成長を続けています。


I found "Kanikusa" fern plants bearing spores. They are unique in that they are a vine plant even though they are a fern plant. It seems as if their stems grew winding other plants and sending out leaves. However, actually, one leaf, which looks like a stem, comes out from the ground growing like a vine.
