(Kaulf.) WattDryopteris arguta, with the common name coastal woodfern, is a species of wood fern. It is native to the west coast of North America,[1] where it grows in oak woodlands and shady low elevation slopes in Southern California and north.
Description
Dryopteris arguta is somewhat variable in appearance. Leaflets sometimes turn at an angle from the leaf, giving it a ruffled or lacy look, and the toothed leaflets may have bristles at their tips. According to C. Michael Hogan, The thin concave indusia are quite closely spaced and almost entirely cover the sporangia.[2]
