22.3 Athyrium flexile (Newm.) Druce<br />

(A.distentifolium Tausch ex Opiz var. flexile<br />

(Newm.) Jermy)<br />

A distinct taxon similar to A . distentifolium in frond texture and<br />

cutting although the pinnae are smaller and have fewer pinnules<br />

or lobes. <strong>The</strong> fronds are characteristically reflexed and appear<br />

adpressed to the ground—a character retained in cultivation.<br />

A.fdix-femina produces, especially in mountain habitats, an<br />

ecotype with a similar habit which may be confused with this<br />

species; the presence of indusia will distinguish it.<br />
