Pictures of a fern, ID please
I think this is "Shield fern" !! Can this be Dryopteris marginalis?
Yes ... it is Dryopteris marginalis
Bingo !! I got it on target !! i was waiting for a validation as the sorus are not available in the photos hence I was hesitating to move into the species level but it looked like D marginalis to me.
Microlepia sps.
