Gymnocarpium disjunctum
Also called Pacific oak-fern, Western oak-fern
Pacific oakfern is a small, delicate woodland fern native to the cool, moist forests of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and coastal northeast Asia. It grows from a slender creeping rhizome, so it spreads into loose colonies, and it needs shade and steady moisture.
Gymnocarpium disjunctum is a species of fern in the family Cystopteridaceae, commonly known as Pacific oak fern, western oak fern, or Pacific oakfern.
Gymnocarpium disjunctum is native to coastal northeast Asia, Alaska, and British Columbia and ranges south to Oregon and Washington, and to interior southern British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
