There are about 20 species of deciduous, rhizomatous ferns, in this genus. They occur among calcareous rocks in temperate and subtropical areas.

Grow in a rock garden or shady fern border.<\/p>\n

Grow in fertile, moist but well drained soil in partial shade. Shelter from wind. Divide rhizomes in spring.<\/p>\n

Prone to leaf gall <\/em>and rust.<\/em><\/p>\n
