What type of fern?

17 years ago

Is this a rabbitÂs foot fern?

I recently bought a small fern (4 inch pot) at a flea marketÂno identification was with it. The fronds are triangular in shape, have divided leaflets and have tiny hairs all over them, making them feel fuzzy. I cannot see any rhizomes yet, but as I said, it is a very small plant. The fronds are about 6 inches long. Any ideas as to what it might be?

Likely a Hemionitus palmata. Strawberry fern.

It would be helpful to see the entire plant, but I believe this is an Ostich Fern.

It looks to me like a Ninvisible Fern: no photo. (If you don't see the photo in Preview, it won't appear in your final post.) Is this the same fern as in the other post? http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/namegal/msg1114241221911.html?3 This post was edited by missingtheobvious on Mon, Nov 18, 13 at 9:43
