    Hi,

    My name is Dan....this is my first attempt at posting a query. I have an image of a little fern that I obtained from Japan that I would like identified but I do not know how to attach the image. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

    Thanks

    Hi Dan

    Hey Dan, I can't identify the fern, but I moved your post into the plant id forum since you succeeded with the image attachment. Hopefully someone will know the little fern's name.

    Welcome

    It looks very small. Could you tell us the actual size? This may help people to identify it.

    Little Ferm

    Hi Eric,

    The leaf size is approximately 1/2" long by about 3/8" wide. I am told that in Japan it often grows on the trunks of trees. In late summer some longer leaves grow upright with spores on the undersides.

    Thanks for your interest,

    Dan
