Male Fern Botanical Poster - Driopterum filix-mas

The Science:

The so-called Male Fern is a Deciduous Perennial non-flowering plant widespread across the Northern Hemisphere. Often cultivated as an ornamental plant, its hardiness and need for shade makes it a suitable indoor plant, and it was used until recently as a vermifuge, a substance which can drive out parasitic worms from the body. Ferns are an ancient form of plant life, arising in the Devonian Period and they reproduce through spores rather than seeds. This is one of a wonderful series of Scientific German Educational Charts, created in the 1950s and 60s and still produced by the original printer, internationally recognized for producing educational science charts since 1929. These charts are issued today using the original film and same methods as the first printing. They are printed without inscription for both classroom study and decorative purposes, with special attention paid to botanical detail and scientific accuracy.

The Story:
