User's notes
This is a tough, full-sun growing fern, with fronds that feel hard., even in young plants I don’t know if it is a different sp to the bracken-type fern that grows on creek banks and in shadier areas locally, (refer Sighting 4646219). The latter has a much softer, though still firm feel about the fronds, especially when young.
