    I'm not sure, but a guess would be that it is something in the family Polypodiaceae. Maybe Pleopeltis sp., such as Pleopeltis macrocarpa.

      That looks like it. You may be too young to remember them, but the fern looks like candy buttons. I appreciate your response and link! Posted one year ago

        Haha, yes! The little bits of candy stuck to paper, right? I loved those! But, in retrospect, I have no idea why. ;P Posted one year ago

        3 reasons probably. Sugar, aesthetics and shareability. Just tear off a piece and give it to a friend. :-) Posted one year ago

        So true. Plus, the challenge of trying to peel off each piece of candy without eating the paper along with it. Posted one year ago
