I was going to say how much the base of this tree's trunk looks like a man with a blue shirt, but I think I'll hold my tongue. --DanielCD 21:16, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well done, Daniel, your ability to recognise the human form is amazing. Being serious, that's blue-shirted me in the pic, just to give scale. My wife took the picture - Adrian Pingstone 23:42, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Taxobox

I added a taxobox, but upon closer inspection, I'm not sure if this article needs one. If it's just supposed to be about the general form of tree ferns, perhaps it's not needed. Is this article meant to specifically cover the families Dicksoniaceae and Cyatheaceae? Article states other Cyatheales families are tree ferns as well. --DanielCD 14:40, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps a beter question, is there a taxon within Cyatheales that covers tree ferns alone? --DanielCD 14:43, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
