Temperate rainforest. Understorey of a temperate rainforest. Most of the vegetation is tree ferns,with crowns of leaf fronds supported by stocky trunks. Tree ferns are among the most primitive plants still alive on Earth. They dominated the first forests over 300 million years ago,before flowering plants evolved.
