Aspidotis californica (Nutt. ex Hook.) Nutt. ex Copel.
Aspidotis californica is a fern with thin dissected leaves that has rolled leaf edges forming false indusia over its spore-bearing sori.
Insufficient toxicity evidence; avoid direct contact and ingestion.
Aspidotis californica produces thin leaves that are dissected into numerous triangular leaflets. These leaflets are further divided into small segments that have curled teeth. Sori containing sporangia form on the leaf segments, and the edges of the leaves roll under to form a false indusium that covers the sori.
