Polyctenium fremontii |
Polyctenium goes by the common name 'combleaf,' owing to the resemblance of its deeply lobed leaves to a comb. There are two species within the genus: one, Polyctenium williamsiae, is quite rare and is specially protected in Nevada. The other, Polyctenium fremontii, is more common.
