Shield species

Let's take a look at several common types of this plant.

Male shieldworm. It is a very beautiful plant. The thick rhizome is decorated with remnants of leaf petioles and wide soft scales. A bunch of rather large feathery leaves is formed at the top. On the segments of each plate there are 6–7 sori, which are covered with kidney-shaped covers. Thanks to soruses, the male dwarf reproduces asexually. Often the leaves of such a plant reach a length of one and a half meters. However, it grows very slowly. A dense cover of numerous scales and folded leaves perfectly protect the meristematic tissue of the high top of the leaf from all kinds of damage and even from drying out.

The fragrant shieldwort. It is a stemless fern that grows up to 30 cm in height. It has a short, thick rhizome with ascending leaf petioles. Such a herbaceous plant is covered with dense, rigid leaves, which are collected in graceful rosettes. Elliptical sporangia are located along prominent feeding veins. Short leaf petioles have glandular hairs in the form of small denticles. The area of growth of the fragrant dryworm is in the Arctic zone. This plant can be found in rocky and lichen tundra, as well as near the polar belt.

Dwarf comb. This species is a luxurious perennial, whose height ranges from 30 to 55 cm. Its thick, shortened root is complemented by dark green leathery leaves. Long petioles have a pinnately dissected shape. The spore-bearing leaves of the lanceolate species reach a length of 70 cm. The vegetative leaves do not exceed 30 cm. There are few sori in this plant, but they are located in two standard rows. The crested thyroid is common in North America and some areas of Europe. He often chooses grassy swamps and moss areas, as well as swampy shrubs and forests. The presented species spores in July and August.

Field shitnikov. It is a herbaceous land plant that appeared on the earth many years ago. Long stems, thickened roots and large feathery leaves of such a perennial have an incredibly complex internal structure. Spores mature in special small sporangia along leaf veins. A new sexual generation can emerge from each dispute. The presented type of plant is very much in need of moist soils and shaded areas. He does not tolerate dehydration. The field bushworm prefers acidic soils in swamps and wet fields, and also happily settles in meadows and damp forests.

Dartweed acicular. This is a unique plant with a thick oblique scaly-type rhizome. The height of this species can reach 60 cm. Long petioles are covered with pale brown scales. The pinnate plate has a triangular-ovoid shape. The veils and sori of the acicular thyroid are reniform. This type of plant spores not earlier than the second half of summer. Usually it settles in the coniferous and rather damp forests of the Caucasus, the European part of Russia, Western Siberia and in some regions of North America.

Contraindications to the use of shitnikov

The thyme is a very poisonous plant, so the prescribed dosages should be strictly followed. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to avoid severe poisoning. Various preparations containing thyroid are not recommended for pregnant women and people with diseases of the stomach and heart. In case of an overdose, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and heavy breathing are observed.
