Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

Fern identification

18 years ago

Hi,

I'm French and my English is sometimes a disaster,so I hope you will understand me !

I fell in love with ferns three years ago.

I bought this fern in a garden center,but it wasn't labelled.

I took a look to The Fern Grower's Manual and I think it could be Microsorum scolopendria.

Do you think so ?

Thanks a lot.

Great question. I have one too and have no idea what its name is. I will be watching for an answer.

I believe this is M scolopendria since the viens other than the mid vein are hard to see. If they were distinct this would most likly be pustulatum.
