oak-fern
[A transl. of L. dryopteris, Gr. δρυοπτερίς (Diosc.), said to be applied to a fern growing on the trunks of oaks or other trees; but employed by Linnæus as the name of a species of Polypodium (P. Dryopteris), the Smooth Three-branched Polypody (not the ancient δρυοπτερίς).]
†1. Variously applied by the early herbalists to the Common Polypody (which grows on the trunks of trees), and to several other ferns.
These include Nephrodium Thelypteris, Cystopteris fragilis, Asplenium Adiantum-nigrum (identified by Fraas with the Greek δρυοπτερίς), and Polypodium calcareum.
