Rock Polypody

Description:

Rock polypody often grows directly on rock or on thin soil over rocky cliffs and boulders. The blade of rock polypody is once-pinnate and lobed with large, circular sori that tend to be brown in color. If you look closely at the blade of rock polypody, it almost looks like the pinna are all connected and smoothly zig-zagging back and forth.

Habitat:

We’ve found it growing all over many of the granite rock outcrops within the shade of the spruces and firs here on the island.
