tiny fern
Small leafy spore-plant
A tiny fern is simply a fern that is small—whether a naturally diminutive species or a young plant not yet fully grown.
The phrase is descriptive rather than technical: She found a tiny fern growing in a crack in the stone wall.
Some fern species remain small at maturity, while others start tiny and grow large.
