Description
The Floating antler-fern is very different from its relatives Ceratopteris thalictroides and C. pteridoides. This conspicuous, large floating fern occurs from the southeastern U. S. to South America and is also reported from Southeast Asia. Ceratopteris pteridoides grows in rivers and standing waters, either free-floating with water roots or as swamp plant, rooting in mud. It does not thrive under water. In the aquarium hobby this species is often confused with Ceratopteris cornuta that is able to grow submerged.
