. Botany of the living plant. Botany. FILICALES 329 seen in the old leaves of the Male Fern (Fig. 267, B). A general pecuUarity of Ferns is the crozier-like curvature of their young leaves, the adaxial face growing at first more slowly. But later it catches up the abaxial face, so that the leaf flattens out as it matures. This habit is effective in protecting the curled tip of the leaf, since in Ferns apical growth is long continued, and the tissues are delicate. The stem and leaves, especially while young, are often densely covered either with. Fig. 268. Transverse section of a fossil-Fern, B Stock Photo
