 Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches of the 
land. Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight as pillars. 
Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth. Still others lived in the shade of 
giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swam.
 A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or 
seeds. Others had only the appearance of ferns. Their leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and 
produced seeds. Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (today completely 
extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants. Traces of these floras of the earliest times have been 
preserved in the form of fossils. Such traces are most commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks 
wedged between coal beds.
 Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns. The species that 
grow there are no longer those of the Carboniferous period, but their variety and vast numbers, and 
the great size of some, remind us of the time when ferns ruled the plant kingdom.
