Bulblet Fern in Washington Co., Maryland (8/4/2012). Bulblet Bladderfern is on the state watchlist (S3). It is found growing in calciferous soils often near limestone cliffs and outcroppings. The bulblets that are found on the back of the blade are a diagnostic identification feature. The bulbets fall off the blades onto the ground and sprout new ferns. Photo by Jim Brighton. (MBP list)
