Dryopteris clintoniana commonly known as Clinton’s wood fern is a fern of hybrid origin native to the northern hemisphere. It is a fertile hexaploid arising as a species by doubling of its chromosome number from a hybrid between Dryopteris cristata a tetraploid and Dryopteris goldiana a diploid. It is more northern in its range than either parent species.This fern will be found in wet areas similar to the habitat of D. cristata.
