Ceratopteridaceae (Parkeriaceae) (from the genus Ceratopteris, meaning horn-fern). Ceratopteris Family. Aquatic ferns rooting in the mud: leaves of two sorts, the ones less divided with broader segments and veins more or less anastomosing; the more aerial fertile ones much divided, with narrow segments, and revolute margins which later almost completely inclose the scattered sporangia: indusium wanting: sporangia globular, thin-walled with a very diverse broad nearly complete or nearly wanting annulus; rarely the annulus wanting; dehiscence transverse: prothallia unisexual, thalloid; antheridia not superficial.<br />
<br />
Only one genus and a few species of tropical distribution are known, the only aquatic species among the true ferns. The habit, the absence of sori, the variable annulus, and the sunken antheridia are distinctive.<br />
<br />
This fern is sometimes cooked and eaten as greens.<br />
<br />
One or two species are frequently grown for aquaria and aquatic gardens.<br />
