Light green fern, multiple fronds coming from the same base. Has three orders of compound leaf subdivision, the pinnule (third order) is has round lobed leaves with fine spikes at the top of each lobe.
distinguishable from the lady fern because the lady fern pinnule appears more sharply serrated, and less bulky shaped lobes.
