 Biogeography of swordfern (Polystichum munitum)
Polystichum munitum is a typical fern in its morphology.
Polystichum munitum, in common with other plants, can reproduce vegetatively, that is, by the branching of its rhizome (Frankel, 1981).
About 55 species of Polystichum occur in the American tropics, where they tend to be found in similar places as their temperate cousins, as adjusted for the tropics: moist montane and cloud forests, stream banks and ravines, the occasional cliff or rocky slope (Tryon and Tryon, 1982).

Polystichum munitum (munitum meaning armed, with teeth) is a robust perennial forming a stout clump of laddered or pinnate fronds, which are lance- or sword-shaped in outline, often curving to one side in the upper half.
In the wild, P. munitum is found from upper Baja California north to Alaska and western Montana, and is particularly abundant west of the Cascade Mountains.
Polystichum munitum has a long history of use by Native Americans as a drug to help numb the pain of childbirth, for the treatment of burns and sores, and as a food-for which the rhizomes are steamed, boiled, or pit baked.

Generally the prickly pinnae are long, narrow, and pointed.
The characteristic polystichum "thumb", or auricle, which is a projection of the upper edge of the pinna next to the rachis, is easily spotted on this fern.
Close scrutiny of large populations yield quite an interesting range of slight pinnae modulations, from various degrees of pinnatifidness, to twists to the pinnae at various points, to the setoseness of the edges.

The lower canopy or forest floor includes such species as wild ginger (Asarum caudatum), sword fern (Polystichum munitum), and star flower (Trientalis latifolia) (Evens 1993; Kozloff and Beidleman 1994).
Wild ginger (Asarum caudatum) and sword fern (Polystichum munitum) are found in the moist areas of the Douglas fir forest that form a closed canopy, such as the stretch along Olema Creek.
One of the most notable amphibians found here is the pacific giant salamander (Dicamptodon ensatus) which can be observed near streams and under fallen trees (Evens 1993; Johnston 1994; Kricher 1993).
