Dryopteris leedsii
Leeds' wood fern is a sterile hybrid fern from eastern North America, a cross between the log fern and the marginal wood fern. It is grown as a hardy, shade-tolerant garden fern that needs moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil.
Dryopteris × leedsii (Leeds' wood fern) is a hybrid fern native to eastern North America. It is the sterile offspring of the log fern (D. celsa) and the marginal wood fern (D. marginalis).
The parents of Dryopteris × leedsii overlap broadly in range (if not habitat) in the eastern United States. The hybrid is known from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, and disjunctly in Arkansas.
