Dryopteris campyloptera

Family: Dryopteridaceae, Genus: Dryopteris

Description:

Dryopteris campyloptera is a large American fern known for its lacy fronds and upright deciduous clump, reaching about 2 feet tall. It thrives in higher elevations and latitudes, particularly above 3800 feet in West Virginia and is part of the normal flora in northern New England. This tetraploid species is a fertile hybrid of Dryopteris intermedia and Dryopteris expansa, resembling the latter in appearance. Ideal for woodland gardens, it prefers slightly moist settings and can be a striking addition to shaded areas.
