Bird's-foot cliffbrake, (Pellaea mucronata), another one of our arid-adapted ferns in the Lakeview Mountains. Same genus as the coffee cliffbrake, posted a few days ago. I often find this one growing out of cracks in the rocks.

Here's another one of our local ferns adapted to arid habitats. This is the coffee fern, or coffee cliff-brake (Pellaea andromedifolia). The "coffee" in the name might reference the bean-like shape of the leaves (and their color as they get older). I almost always find these ferns underneath Sugarbush shrubs (Rhus ovata) adjacent to granite boulders.

Ferny dragon. Possibly.
