About Myriopteris viscida (Davenp.) Grusz & Windham
This fern species, Myriopteris viscida, grows frilly leaves that reach up to around 30 centimeters in length. Each leaf is divided into segments, which are further subdivided; the smallest ultimate segments are only a few millimeters long, and range in shape from widely lance-shaped to oblong. The leaf segments have resin glands that secrete a very sticky, clear fluid, and the leaves are also somewhat hairy. The edges of the leaf segments are curled, and the sori with their brown sporangia are located along these curled edges.
