--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>compact, erect to ascending, with abundant persistent petiole bases of ± equal length; scales uniformly brown, lanceolate. <b>Leaves</b> 4.5–25 × 1.2–3.5 cm. <b>Petiole</b> usually brown or dark purple when mature, articulate above base at swollen node, relatively brittle and easily shattered. <b>Blade</b> narrowly lanceolate, usually 2-pinnate proximally, lacking glands, never viscid; rachis usually with abundant hairs and scales. <b>Pinnae</b> ovate-lanceolate to deltate, longer than wide, abruptly tapered to a rounded or broadly acute apex; largest pinnae with 4–9 pairs of pinnules; abaxial surface with mixture of hairs and linear-lanceolate scales, adaxial surface with multicellular hairs concentrated along midrib. <b>Pinnules</b> entire or crenate, rarely shallowly lobed; margins nonlustrous, thin, ciliate with multicellular hairs, lacking translucent projections. <b>Vein</b> tips frequently enlarged to form whitish hydathodes visible adaxially. <b>Indusia</b> of narrow, hairlike segments, these uniseriate throughout, composed of cells many times longer than wide, usually surpassing mature sporangia. <b>Spores</b> averaging 39–46 µm. <b>2n</b> = 82.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Although generally separable by the characters given in the key, shade forms of <i>Woodsia ilvensis</i> with a reduced number of scales and hairs are occasionally misidentified as <i>W. alpina</i>. The morphologic distinctions between these species are further blurred by natural hybridization, which produces the intermediate triploid known as W. × gracilis. Some of the best characters for distinguishing these taxa are spore size and morphology. Spores average less than 46 µm in <i>W. ilvensis</i>, more than 46 µm in <i>W. alpina</i>, and are malformed and abortive in W. × gracilis. <i>Woodsia ilvensis</i> also hybridizes with <i>W. oregana </i>subsp.<i> cathcartiana</i> to form the sterile triploid W. × abbeae (F. S. Wagner 1987).</p>
