About Pellaea truncata Goodd.

Pellaea truncata Goodd. produces leaves that can reach up to 40 centimeters in length. Fertile leaves are longer and more subdivided than the smaller, simpler sterile leaves of this fern. Each leaf is made up of multiple leaflets, and each of these leaflets is further divided into several segments, which can be linear, oblong, or pointed oval in shape. Segments may have wavy edges, and fertile segments have edges that roll under. The sporangia are positioned beneath these rolled edges.
