There seems to be quite a bit of variation in this species; having found a large fern with serrated pinnules, which look more similar to P. cambrica, and which measured 50cm in length. See images variation 2. Here I must thank Matt Stribley for his help in eastablishing the identity of this serrate form.

Polypodium interjectum is found widely across the Devon and Cornwall region in various natural and urban habitats.

 

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the flora of the region and help

people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but a few species may only be determined by observing microscopic differences that are characteristic to any one species.
