This is a tiny, fleshy fern that can be found in early summer in very dry, open locations under black oaks and sassafras. It can sometimes be found in colonies, but would be easily overlooked.
This plant is listed as state endangered in Illinois and is listed as State Threatend (S2) in Indiana. This photograph was taken at Lena Park in Starke County Indiana by Edge of the Prairie editor, Marty Lucas.
