Recently when wandering through a park in Broward County, I stumbled upon a fern I had never seen before. I honestly can't seem to find out what it is, closest seems to be a maidenhair fern or something like a mini tree fern. It had a stem going up ~3 feet, then branching out into several ~2ft fronds. It was near a boardwalk going over a tropical hardwood hammock beside a cypress swamp, and I imagine it wasn't planted and is instead native.

It is Pteris tripartita, Giant Brake Fern. It isn't a Florida native. It has naturalized but isn't invasive. It is native to a wide region tropical Africa, southeastern Asia, and down to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Fiji and northern Australia.
