There's a very attractive small fern that grows in little cracks in stone
walls. It's fronds are only a matter of inches long, 6 to 8, perhaps and
it
has quite a dark edge to the leaf and the stem is dark, too, though that
seems to vary. It hugs the walls pretty closely. Does anyone have an
idea
what it is from that rather poor description?!
