Sceptridium biternatum

Sceptridium biternatum, the southern grapefern or sparse-lobe grape fern , is a perennial fern in the family Ophioglossaceae, occurring in eastern North America. It occurs in "low woods, in hardwood and pine forests, in fields, and on roadsides."[2] Like other grape ferns, it depends on a mycorrhizal association in the soil to survive.
