Dryopteris arguta (Kaulf.) Watt
Dryopteris arguta is a variable fern with ruffled-lacy toothed leaflets and closely-spaced thin concave indusia that nearly cover its sporangia.
Insufficient toxicity evidence; avoid direct contact and ingestion.
Dryopteris arguta (Kaulf.) Watt is somewhat variable in appearance. Its leaflets sometimes angle away from the main leaf, creating a ruffled or lacy look, and the toothed leaflets may have bristles at their tips. As noted by C. Michael Hogan, the thin, concave indusia are quite closely spaced and almost completely cover the sporangia.
