A Fernarium has been constructed up inside Eravikulam National Park (ENP), the Nilgiri tahr's natural habitat in Munnar.
Ferns belong to the epiphytic family of plants. They develop in a soilless environment spontaneously. With the leaching of nutrients and water from trees, plants receive both.
Ferns are a varied group of plants that reproduce by spores rather than flowers or seeds.
Uses: Although ferns are not as commercially significant as seed plants, they are nevertheless quite essential in some cultures. Food is made from some ferns.
Eravikulam National Park is located in Kerala's upper ranges of the Idukki district, along the summit of the Western Ghats.
Neelakurinji, a flower that blooms just once every twelve years, also grows in this region. This is where the Anamudi, the tallest peak south of the Himalayas, is.
It is also referred to as Rajamalai National Park. When it was established in 1975 as a sanctuary with the goal of preserving the native population of Nilgiri Tahr (the most endangered mountain goat), it was later upgraded to become a national park.
