Adiantum aleuticum
A deciduous fern that has a shiny purple-black stem that grows erect and split in two, from which fan horizontal fronds of tiny leaflets.
Spotted on a moist cutbank near the Snoqualmie river.
Native mainly to western North America from the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, south to Chihuahua, and also locally in northeastern North America from Newfoundland south to Maryland.
