Polypodium is a genus of 75–100 species of true ferns widely distributed throughout the world with the highest species diversity in the tropics. The name is derived from Ancient Greek poly (πολύ) many + podion (πόδιον) little foot on account of the foot-like appearance of the rhizome and its branches.
