The most eye-catching is the turnip fern (Angiopteris lygodiifolia), whose two to three-meter long fronds give it a highly tropical air. When its fronds fall they leave behind hand-sized stumps all around the base of the plant, giving the appearance of a lotus flower, and this earns the turnip fern its rather more poetic Chinese name of Guanyin zuo lian, meaning "the Bodhisattva Guanyin seated on a lotus throne."
最醒目的「觀音座蓮」，葉片長二、三公尺，充滿熱帶氣息，葉片掉落留下手掌般大的托葉，圍繞疊成了「蓮花座」，觀音座蓮果然不虛此名。
