General:
Evergreen from a short, stout rhizome, with clustered fronds.
Leaves:
Narrowly lanceolate, 10-25 cm long, 0.7-1.5 cm wide; rachis not winged, reddish-brown in the lower 2/3-4/5, green towards the tip; pinnae in pairs, egg-shaped to oblong-egg-shaped, 5-10 mm long, 3-6 mm wide.
Notes:
This species is an allotetraploid which originated from a hybrid of the diploid species A. trichomanes x A. viride. Mokry et al. (1986) ascribed our plants to A. adulterinum ssp. presolanense, described from the Italian Alps, but Vogel et al. (1998) consider them to be typical A. adulterinum.
