Common polypody is recognized by its sturdy, evergreen fronds which extend to approximately 12 inches (30 cm) in length. These fronds emerge from a horizontal rhizome and are distinguishable by their leathery texture and a pronounced bumpy texture on the upper surface. This bumpiness is due to the presence of large sori – clusters of sporangia – on the undersides of the fronds, which are a key identification feature. The fern's robust constitution allows it to thrive in a variety of settings, including the nooks of old walls, rocky crevices, and as epiphytes on tree limbs.
