There may be as many as six sub species in the Dryopteris affinis group but so far only three have been satisfactorily characterised. Fortunately for us on out botanical expedition in Teesdale this one had already been determined (right photo) and the one on the left is included to show the scaly nature of the rachis (main stem from which leaflets grow).
