Damp shady woods is where you find it says Professor Stace, but I only know it from mountain places where it grows under rocks or in grikes. It is a very light green in colour and stands up stiffly. It really is one of the beautiful ferns to see en masse and this picture looking down on a clump of them doesn't really capture the elegance of this plant.
