  1. Onoclea sensibilis

    Onoclea sensibilis, the sensitive fern, also known as the bead fern, is a coarse-textured, medium to large-sized deciduous perennial fern.

It is sometimes treated as the only species in Onoclea, but some authors do not consider the genus monotypic.

  1. onoclea sensibilis

    Onoclea sensibilis, commonly known as the sensitive fern, is a species of fern in the family Onocleaceae. This plant is native to North America and parts of Asia. It has large, light-green fronds that are somewhat coarse in texture and spores produced in bead-like structures on separate fertile fronds, giving it a unique appearance among ferns. It is called "sensitive fern" because it is one of the first ferns to suffer damage in light frost. It thrives in damp, shaded environments like swamps or along streams.
