This guy is HUGE! Growing very close to the water on the riverbank

Mowed roadside edge of rich mesic forest. Most Polystichum plants here normal looking, a few with some creative rachis divisions.

Second known location for this species in Ky. Where else have we overlooked it?

Cups on hardwood likely. Slightly translucent. In gregarious patches. Highly UV reactive with 365nm light. 0.5-1mm wide cups on average.

They bite!!!! Mean ants.

State record. Noticeably larger flowers--big enough that it made me stomp on the breaks as I was driving by. Petals ~4 mm long, 5 mm broad, much exceeding the sepals.
