A decorative shag of multi-sized and shaped scales protect the stipe and rachis of this mountain inhabitant. Glistening silvery croziers evolve into supple smoky green velveteen fronds which gradually taper at the apex and base in an elongated diamond fashion. Appressed silken bristly teeth adorn the slightly auricled pinnules of this bipinnate bipinnate fern. This is a circumboreal fern found in the moist woodlands of North America, Asia, and Europe.
