This poor little fern has been sitting in the cold frame for at least 2 years. It has no label. I don't remember buying it, being given it or sowing it.
It's been dreadfully neglected but can anyone help with identification. I have pictured whole fern 8cm tall, how it grows from the base and the reverse of a frond.

asplenium trichomanes may be
-
No John, we have that one, but thanks for trying.
-
Could it be a Blechnum, Shelagh? Spicant maybe.
-
I had thought about Blechnum Ian but it isn't spicant it is much too small for that.
-
Polystichum lonchitis? I can,t make out the individual leaves. If not it may be a foreign species.

I think you've got it Ian, thank you. If it ever gets on the show bench we'll see if the "experts" agree.
