Blechnum consists primarily of evergreen ferns characterized by upright or spreading rhizomes. The fronds are typically simple and pinnate, with fertile fronds standing upright while the sterile ones tend to spread out.

Blechnum brasiliense is a perennial fern that typically grows to a height of 1.5 meters and spreads about 1 meter. Its fronds, which are either upright or gracefully arching, display a subtle crinkled texture. Young fronds initially appear in a vibrant pinkish-red hue before transitioning to a rich, glossy green as they mature. The fern develops an upright rhizome that can eventually create a slender trunk measuring approximately 30 centimeters in height.

This evergreen fern typically grows to about 1.5 meters in height and 1 meter in width. Its fronds display a slight crinkle and can be either upright or arching. New growth appears in a vivid red hue, transitioning to bronze and ultimately maturing to a glossy green. As it develops, the erect rhizome may form a slender trunk that can reach up to 30 centimeters in height.

Blechnum brasiliense Eruption ('Alceru') is a perennial fern characterized by its erect, lanceolate fronds. The young fronds emerge in a vivid red hue, transitioning to a vibrant green as they mature.

Blechnum discolor is a perennial fern characterized by its bright green, erect fertile fronds that feature lighter-colored undersides. These are complemented by arching, non-reproductive fronds that are also green. As the plant ages, it may form a short, trunk-like rhizome.

Blechnum fluviatile is a compact, evergreen fern characterized by upright fertile fronds at the center, encircled by sprawling sterile fronds. The leaflets are small and oval in shape, while the stems display a covering of dark brown bristles.
