Northern Beech Fern

Ferns and Fern Allies

The northern beech fern, also called the long beech fern or narrow beech fern, is a fern of the family Thelypteridaceae native to forests across the Northern Hemisphere, growing ten to fifty centimeters tall. Its triangular leaf blade is pinnately compound at the base and cut nearly to the midrib further up, with narrow, hairy lobes on the underside. It grows in wet ground beside streams and springs and in coniferous swamps, rooting equally well on soil or rock, and prefers shaded, nutrient-rich, non-acidic sites, avoiding logged-over ground.

They are predominantly photosynthetic or came from photosynthetic ancestors, meaning that they obtain their energy from sunlight by using the green pigment chlorophyll in their chloroplasts to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water.
