Question
Can you tell me which fern I have photographed? I took the pictures in a mixed hemlock forest beside a lake in the Adirondacks. Thank You
Answer
Dear Auntie, you've collected Parathelypteris novaboracensis (New York fern), a native perennial fern of (primarily) forested areas. The leallets that gradually become smaller and smaller toward the base is a good diagnostic character.
