Re: I thought the first fronds were sterile?

Looks like a young Dryopteris dilatata to me. Osmunda regalis usually produce first fronds that are fertile.

Now, I was led to believe that the first fronds were sterile(I read it

clearly see 'c' shaped indusae on this frond.
Its quite small for a dryopteris too isnt it?
