Pacific oak fern

Gymnocarpium disjunctum

The Pacific oak fern is a lovely green plant that grows in shady places. Its delicate leaves look like tiny fans and can be found in forests and along trails.

Lebensraum: Forests

Aussehen

The Pacific oak fern has delicate, bright green fronds that are distinctly triangular and deeply cut, resembling tiny oak leaves. Its fronds grow individually from a creeping stem, creating a lacy, almost floating appearance close to the forest floor.
