Scaly Tree Ferns (Genus Cyathea) are ferns in the Scaly Tree Ferns (Cyatheaceae) family. Cyathea are mostly terrestrial ferns, "usually with a single tall stem. Rarely, the trunk may be branched or creeping. Many species also develop a fibrous mass of roots at the base of the trunk. Scaly Tree Ferns have a pantropical distribution with over 470 species. They grow in habitats ranging from tropical rain forests to temperate woodlands.
The genus name Cyathea is derived from the Greek kyatheion, meaning "little cup", and refers to the cup-shaped sori on the underside of the fronds."

Fern structures have their own names. "A fern’s leaf is called a frond. It is divided into pinnae, which may be subdivided into pinnules. The underside of the pinnules contain sori, which in turn contain sporangia, which produce the spores. Sori may be covered by a membrane-like indusium. A false indusium is a covering formed by a reflexed margin of the pinna/pinnule. Not all ferns have clearly defined sori. The lamina of a frond is often divided into many pinnae along the length of the rachis. The pinnae can also be divided into many pinnules. If the lamina is divided only into pinnae, but the pinnae are not divided into pinnules, then a frond is known as being pinnately divided. If a frond does have the second division into pinnules, it is called bipinnately divided. Alternatively, some fronds are divided palmately, with a number of pinnae growing from the same point on the rachis. Determining whether a fern has pinnate, bipinnate or palmate fronds, is a useful assessment to identify fern species." https://basicbiology.net/plants/ferns-lycophytes/fronds

Polypodiales encompasses the major lineages of polypod Ferns, which comprise more than 80% of today's known fern species. "They are found in many parts of the world including tropical, semitropical and temperate areas. Polypodiales may be regarded as one of the most evolutionarily advanced orders of monilophytes (ferns), based on recent genetic analysis. They arose and diversified about 100 million years ago." https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/47754-Polypodiales
