Center for Plant Health Science and Technology; California Department of Food and Agriculture. Spores: Many thousands of tiny spores released per plant and carried by wind, dust, animals, clothes, and equipment. Native to Africa to Southeast Asia, South Pacific islands, and Australia. #205 West Palm Beach, Florida 33409 Boneal@mindspring.com Bob Pemberton USDA/ARS 3205 College Ave. Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33314 [9] Lygodium microphyllum poses problems for fires, both natural and man-made, because it can lead fire into the tree canopy, killing trees. Maps can be downloaded and shared. Scientists' estimate that, left unchecked, Old World climbing fern could infest more than 2 million acres in South Florida by 2014.
Can serve as a fire ladder that carries fire into native tree canopies that normally wouldn't burn.
APHIS. Report fish kills, wildlife emergencies, sightings, etc. [1], Lygodium microphyllum has become naturalized in the Caribbean and the southeastern United States. Leaves: Twining fronds of indeterminate growth to 30 m (90 ft.) long. Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce. 1998. Pemberton, R.W., J.A. This fern is on endangered or … Old World climbing fern produces two types of fronds: sterile and fertile. Abstract. The fern's ability to grow up and over trees and shrubs and to form dense horizontal canopiesallows it to cover whole communities of plants reducing native plant diversity.

Although primarily a weed of public conservation areas, Old World climbing fern infests residential landscapes, horticultural nurseries, rangelands and other managed lands near infested natural vegetation. Goolsby, and T. Wright. Insects (Austromusotima camptozonale, Neomusotima conspurcatalis) and mites (Floracarus perrepae) have been released in several state parks to control the fern.

Lygodium palmatum Unlike most species in the genus, this one, called the American climbing fern, is extremely hardy in temperate zones. University of Georgia. This rapidly spreading fern invades new areas without the need of habitat disturbance and often completely dominates native vegetation by forming a dense canopy. Some Everglades tree islands are so completely blanketed by the fern that it is not possible to see trees and other vegetation beneath the fern canopy. USDA. Electronic Data Information Source Publication #SS-AGR-21. Federal Orders are effective immediately and contain the specific regulatory requirements. As many as 40 species have been placed in the genus Lygodium, but a recent revision has reduced this number to 26.

As many as 40 species have been placed in the genus Lygodium, but a recent revision has reduced this number to 26. Old World climbing fern, small leaf climbing fern, Smothers native vegetation and increases fire risk by allowing fire to spread up trees along its vines (.
Hutchinson JT; Langeland KA, 2014. Leaflets (pinnules) usually unlobed, stalked, articulate (leaving wiry stalks when detached); leaf-blade tissue usually glabrous below; fertile leaflets of similar size, fringed with tiny lobes of enrolled leaf tissue covering the sporangia along the leaf margin. [9], Recently, the USDA approved the use of insects to keep the fern contained. 620 S. Meridian St. • Tallahassee, FL • (850) 488-4676 Old World climbing fern can grow horizontally or vertically, often reaching 60 feet or more into tree canopies. Tolerance of Lygodium microphyllum and L. japonicum spores and gametophytes to freezing temperature. The rhizomes (underground stems) and rachis (main stem of the frond) are dark brown to black and wiry.
University of Florida. Old World climbing fern can grow in bald cypress stands, pine flatwoods, wet prairies, saw grass marshes, mangrove communities and Everglades tree islands. Plant Protection and Quarantine. Underside of spore-bearing leaflets, some leaflets produce spores; others don't. Also, portions of burning fern can frequently break free and spread fire to surrounding areas. Flowers: None. Integration of biological control with other management tactics such as prescribed burning is often important for successful invasive weed control. Jeffrey T. Hutchinson, Kenneth A.

Although some populations were devastated by a bout of cold weather, recently, reports of new activity have been made. The type specimen was collected in the vicinity of Nabúa, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines by Luis Née.
