	Vernation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This Australian tree fern is producing a new frond by the process of circinate vernation
		As a new fern frond is formed, it is tightly curled so that the tender growing tip of the frond (and each subdivision of the frond) is protected within a coil.
		In the case of many fronds, such as that of the Australian tree fern in the picture at right, long hairs or scales provide additional protection to the growing tips before they are fully uncoiled.

		The lacy tree fern is variable; the scales range from almost white to reddish-brown and may drop from the fronds or remain until the frond dies.
