  • Question

    Is this a hybrid of Dryopteris marginalis? Canterbury NH in a very small mesic old sugar bush with ash, hemlock, Aralia racemosa, Sambucus racemosa, Christmas fern.

    Answer

    Dear NativeArt, the plant you have photographed looks to be Dryopteris marginalis (marginal wood fern). I don't see any evidence of hybridization in the nice photographs you have shared. Best wishes.
