Bird's Foot Cliffbrake (Pellaea mucronata) A.k.a. Bird’s-foot Fern. Native, xeric-adapted fern that grows on dry, rocky slopes in many plant communities. It has wiry stems and small, leathery leaflets. Fronds are 20–40 cm long and triangular-oblong in shape. Similar looking to Coffee fern but the oblong pinnules are narrower with rolled under margins and the pinnules are “mucronate,” having a small spine at the tip. Coffee fern pinnules sometimes have margins rolled under and appear narrow like Bird’s-foot fern, but lack the spine at tip.

Monterey County Wildflowers, Trees and Ferns https://montereywildflowers.com/ferns-misc1/ Shield Ferns (Genus Polystichum) Many ferns of this genus have stout, slowly creeping root stocks that form a crown, with a vase-like ring of evergreen fronds 30 to 200 cm (10 to 80 in) long. The sori are round, with a circular indusium. The stipes have prominent scales with often have hair-like cilia, but lack any true hairs. The genus differs from the well-known and allied fern genus Dryopteris (Wood Ferns) in the indusium being circular, not reniform (kidney-shaped), and in having the leaf segments with auricles—asymmetrical blades where one side of the segment is much longer than the other at the base. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fern structures have their own names:

Maidenhair Ferns (Genus Adiantum) are distinctive in appearance, with dark, often black stipes and rachises, and bright green, often delicately cut leaf tissue. The sori are borne submarginally, and are covered by reflexed flaps of leaf tissue which resemble indusia. Dimorphism between sterile and fertile fronds is generally subtle. They generally prefer humus-rich, moist, well-drained sites, ranging from bottomland soils to vertical rock walls. Many species are especially known for growing on rock walls around waterfalls and water seepage areas. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fern structures have their own names:
