Please help to define a fern (post #11768)

Hi everybody


I have a problem with the plant definition. Can anybody offer an idea where I can look up for the definition of a fern which a friend of mine had found in the southern Chile and we can not define it. Thanks to everybody who can help in advance.

Ferns are cataloged extremely well. But you have to know all of the traits to get the correct name. Here's the site to figure out how to correctly describe the fern to then ID it. It's very technical, but all the traits are either/or - not kinda this or kinda that.

Dear Jeana, thank you ever so much, I will try to do that - we have a photo of the fern.
