Dryopteris (Greek, oak-fern). Polypodiaceae. Wood-fern. A widely distributed genus of handsome ferns with dissected foliage, the native species sometimes grown in the hardy border and the tropical kinds under glass. Plants bearing round sori either naked or covered with heart-shaped or reniform indusia, which are fixed at the center or along the sinus: veins either wholly free or the lowest united.—Several hundred species have been referred to this genus. A considerable number of our common woods ferns belong to this genus. The species have been variously known under the names Lastrea, Aspidium, and Nephrodium. Other species sometimes referred to under this genus may be found under Polystichum and under Lastrea. For D. acrostichoides, see Polystichum; for D. decurrens, see Tectaria. In N. Amer., known to many as Aspidium. For cult. see Ferns. Not the same as Doryopteris. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
