Help identifying a fern
This is the plant. I can`t recognise even its family. Any suggestions?

Re: Help identifying a fern
It reminds me of a rabbit's foot fern (Latin name?), but beyond that you might want to post the pic on the fern forum at Gardenweb.com as they're likely to know the answer.

Re: Help identifying a fern
Are there types that grow like that though (the leaves certainly look like it)?

Re: Help identifying a fern
It could be a type of Polypodium but it`s not punctatum. My fern`s got compound leaves with petioles. I`m not sure what Rabbit`s Foot Fern is. There are possible two genera - Polypodium and Davallia. I couldn`t find any similar after googling both. Thank you for your posts.

Re: Help identifying a fern
Hi, I just rechecked on the R.F. fern (a Davillia) and it's nothing like the one here, I guess I was thinking of Platycerium.

I think it`s Polypodium fallax or P. attenuata.
