Hello, can anyone help me ID this fern (both photos are of the same plant. It was along forest edge, northern New Jersey. http://www.pbase.com/mshields/image/85403826 http://www.pbase.com/mshields/image/85403828 Thanks in advance, MShields
Hard to tell without seeing the total shape, knowing the size, and mature sori. First guess Athyrium filix-femina Second guess Dryopteris spinulosa which has now been divided into several species.
