Just wondering if there are any good fern books out there. I'm looking to learn more about them as wild plants rather than as garden specimens but a A-Z of garden ferns would be good too. Where do I start? Which authors are authorities on these fascinating plants?
Welsh Ferns (Hyde, Wade & Harrison) is the absolute must. Although it concentrates on Welsh species and distributions, the one or two UK species which don't occur in Wales are also well described.
