Summary:
The Giant, Elephant or King Fern (Angiopteris evecta) has an interesting history. In the late 1700s Captain Bligh counted it among the ‘provisions’ he collected in Tahiti, along with Breadfruit, and it was taken to Jamaica for use as a supplementary food for the slaves (albeit the same species was native to a few restricted locations). Today the introduced fern lineage is now considered to be invasive in that country [31].
