Dino Depot
Located within United States Botanic Garden Conservatory, the Garden Primeval house is a link to the past, showcasing the type of flora that existed during the Age of the Dinosaurs.
The Jurassic Period was a time of great change, and today descendants of many of those ferns and other plants still exist. The rock tassel fern (Huperzia squarrosa) is a prime example of such a plant. Though not a true fern, the rock tassel fern is a spore-producing evergreen that grows on the limbs of rain forest trees. |
