Cryptogramma acrostichoides
(American parsley fern or rockbrake)
Cryptogramma acrostichoides University of Washington Burke Museum
"In general appearance its light green, densely bunched foliage somewhat resembles parsley (particularly the vegetative fronds) - hence one of its common names, while the generally rocky habitat accounts for the other common name of Rock Brake. It is a herbaceous plant bearing both fertile and vegetative fronds.
The spore bearing fronds are longer than the others and extend above them in the dense clump of foliage."
