Wild Boston Fern
Nephrolepis exaltata
32.7153, -117.157
Field Notes
Description:
This fern has a simple opposite leaf pattern. It looks similar to the Kepler fern. I believe we looked at this fern during lab the other week. It has sori on the back of its fronds!
Habitat:
Dry dirt, but it needs some type of moisture to reproduce. It looked like the fern was growing well due to irrigation from USD. Tecolote Canyon is located in San Diego, CA, and it is a small canyon filled with diverse organisms. From trees, to snakes, native and (non-native) vegetation, plants, flowers and other animals, it is a nice area for people to take a walk/run and look/learn about an ecosystem.
Notes:
