Dryopteris consists of ferns that may be deciduous, semi-evergreen, or evergreen. They feature robust, upright or sprawling rhizomes and form rosettes of fronds that are either lanceolate or ovate in shape, with a pinnate division.

Dryopteris aristata

Dryopteris aroechensis

Dryopteris assimilis

Dryopteris atrata is a vigorous fern that forms a dense clump of arching, lanceolate fronds, reaching lengths of up to 1 meter. The fronds are bright green and made up of numerous narrow, slightly overlapping pinnae.

Dryopteris brunnea

Dryopteris buschiana is an evergreen to semi-evergreen fern that develops a vase-shaped cluster of upright to gently arching fronds. The fronds are composed of narrow, lanceolate to oblong leaflets, which are lobed and arranged in a whorled pattern.

Dryopteris cambrensis subsp. insurbrica

This semi-evergreen fern forms dense clumps and features deeply divided, finely serrated fronds that give it a delicate, lacy look.

Dryopteris carthusiana

Dryopteris carthusiana 'Cristata'

Dryopteris carthusiana 'Cristata' grandiceps form

Dryopteris caucasica

Dryopteris celsa

This evergreen fern grows in clumps and features triangular fronds that are either upright or arching. The fronds are glossy and range in color from bright green when young to a deeper mid to dark green as they mature. Each frond is divided into ovate leaflets, also known as pinnae.

Dryopteris championii

Dryopteris chrysocoma

Dryopteris clintoniana is a robust fern that forms a dense clump of arching, dark green fronds, which can reach lengths of up to 1 meter. The fronds are lance-shaped and consist of numerous narrow pinnae that are slightly twisted along the stem, creating distinctive spaces between them.

Dryopteris cochleata

Dryopteris conjugata

Dryopteris coreanomontana

Dryopteris corleyi

Dryopteris costalisora

This semi-evergreen fern reaches heights and widths of up to 1 meter, characterized by a robust, brown crown. From this crown, upright to gently arching fronds emerge, creating a vase-like cluster. Each frond features narrowly lanceolate and lobed pinnae.

Dryopteris crassirhizoma

Dryopteris crenata

Dryopteris crispifolia

Dryopteris cristata is a clump-forming fern characterized by its semi-evergreen, upright fertile fronds that feature widely spaced leaflets. Alongside these are shorter, arching sterile fronds that remain evergreen throughout the year.

Dryopteris cristata

Dryopteris cuspidata

Dryopteris cycadina is a semi-evergreen fern that forms a tidy rosette. Its fronds, which grow on scaly stems, are simply pinnate and feature pinnae that are consistently toothed or lobed.

Dryopteris darjeelingensis

Dryopteris decurrenti-pinnata

Dryopteris dickinsii

Dryopteris dilatata is a sturdy semi-evergreen perennial that produces a rosette of upright or arching fronds. These fronds are broadly triangular-ovate in shape, featuring a rich dark green hue and a tripinnate structure, with distinctly serrated segments.

Dryopteris dilatata

This partially evergreen fern reaches a height of up to 60 cm. It features triangular-ovate fronds that are tripinnate, with distinctly toothed segments that exhibit a unique crisped texture.

Dryopteris dilatata 'Crispa Whiteside'

Dryopteris dilatata 'Cristata Roberts'

This semi-evergreen fern forms dense clumps and features an upright rhizome. It produces rosettes of closely arranged, triangular to lanceolate fronds that are dark green and have finely divided, crested leaf segments.

Dryopteris dilatata 'Cristata'

Dryopteris dilatata 'Grandiceps'

Dryopteris dilatata 'Hymenophylloides'

Dryopteris dilatata 'Jimmy Dyce' is a semi-evergreen to evergreen fern characterized by its bluish-green fronds. These fronds form a rosette that can either stand upright or arch gracefully. The broadly triangular-ovate, dark green fronds are tripinnate, with noticeably serrated segments.

Dryopteris dilatata 'Jimmy Dyce'

Dryopteris dilatata 'Lepidota Crispa Cristata'

Dryopteris dilatata 'Lepidota Crispa'

This semi-evergreen fern develops a rosette of tripinnate fronds that are triangular-ovate in shape, featuring narrow segments that create a delicate, lacy look.
