Psilotum complanatum (Flatfork Fern) is a rare herbaceous epiphytic fern ally in the genus Psilotum. There is some evidence that it might be a true fern that has lost some typically fern-like characteristics.Morphologically the plant is simple lacking leaves and roots and having hanging stems with dichotomous branching which lack developed leaves but have minute scales. The stems and branches have protostele with a triangular-shaped core of xylem.
