Description:
This plant has mature fronds and is about 40cm tall. The plant has a uniform green color all over. The leaves protrude from the stem in a 2D, alternating pinnate structure.
Habitat:
Spotted at the Lettuce Lake National Park, around 17:30 on Thursday, September 3rd. The bracken fern was in a wooded, shady environment on a dry trail. The trail is about 50m away from the Hillsborough River, so this is a considerably humid environment. Common Bracken are native to Florida and found in southern and central Florida. They have been observed in central America, as well.

Presented thin green leaves. Seemed to grow close to the ground and in the shades. Also had some spots behind its leaves that could be sori. This suggests the plant is some type of fern. However, I was unable to clearly identify it. Sunny hot weather, around 88ºF. Here is some more information on ferns in Florida:

The plant was found at 7:11 pm on the evening of October 14. It was a warm, dry evening (81 degrees) and the organism was found in New Tampa, in a swampy environment dense with plant life. The plant was growing very near to a lake in damp ground. The plant had rounded leaves, a dull green color, and the leaves had an overall oval-like shape. In ID-ing this organism the shape of the leaves along with where the organism is usually found led to the conclusion that this was an (edit) upon id from other users and further research I reconciled that it was a stately maiden fern or thelypteris grandis.
