I created a small fernery last year, just a few small ferns in wall pots on a sheltered retaining wall. The Pteris is a new addition (see alt text descriptions).

Plant of the Day
Saturday 11 February 2023
The fronds of Pteris semipinnata are distinctive with lobed lower pinnae (leaflets) and entire pinnae nearer the frond tips. This tender fern is semi-evergreen and clump forming with a short creeping rhizome.

#1908 -Ā Pteridium esculentum -Ā Austral Bracken
Originally known as Pteris esculentaĀ when it was described by German botanist Georg Forster in 1786, and earned its current binomial name in 1908. āEsculentumā refers to the edibility of the rhizomes, and āpterisā tothe featherlike appearance. The Eora people of the Sydney region knew it as gurgi, and theĀ MÄori call it aruhe. I donāt know what the Noongar people over here in Western Australia call it, but the plant is common enough here particularly near fresh water.
The MÄori cultivated the fern as a staple crop across much of Aoteoroa, by cleaning existing forests and encouraging fern growth, especially in rich soil, but the fern rapidly invades disturbed areas even without additional encouragement. The rhizomes would beĀ air-dried for storage, were briefly heated and then softened with a patu aruhe (rhizome pounder). The starch could then be sucked from the fibers or collected for a larger feast. Patu aruhe were significant cultural items and several distinct styles were developed across New Zealand.Ā Australiaās indigenous people pounded the rhizomes and roasted the result.
However, the fern can also contain high levels of the carcinogenĀ ptaquiloside, and may be related to outbreaks ofĀ bovine enzootic haematuria, where serious bleeding occurs from lesions in the cow or bullās bladder.
