Fronds

On the rocks where the holdfasts secure kelp fronds to the bottom live many invertebrates including abalone, sea urchins and sea stars.

Tom looked at the white sandy beach and swaying palm fronds.

The A-shaped roof was thatched with small branches laid close together and over these long jungle grass and palm fronds, with a final coating of clay.

The fern fronds drooped gracefully.

The citadel was built of mud brick, baked in ovens until strong. The weather was kept out of its buildings and homes with roofs made of thick limbs from trees, covered with palm fronds in crisscrossed layers, and covered again with other vegetation and earth. So close to the sky, yet sealed from its intrusions.
