The fern is one of the oldest plants on the planet, predating flowers. In terreiros and Brazilian homes, it gained a reputation for absorbing the weight of the environment and warning when something is not right.
In the traditional garrafadas of Central Brazil, the raizeiro masters recognized in the knotted shape of the root the living metaphor of firmeza: the capacity to tie knots in adversity and remain standing even in arid lands.
The fern has existed for more than 300 million years and reproduces by spores, not by seed. It is older than any flower that adorns an altar.
