ENTS,
 
Check out this picture of a fern I photographed on a nurse log at Congaree National Park. Can anyone ID it? 
 
If need be I can upload a higher resolution picture of it to the file page.

James:

The fern is Ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron); looks like a small Christmas fern but a different species for sure. Just "google" the name and you'll get lots more info. Very common through a variety of moist forest habitats.
