--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>compact, erect to ascending, with cluster of persistent petiole bases of ± equal length; scales uniformly brown, lanceolate. <b>Leaves</b> 3.5–15 × 0.5–1.2 cm. <b>Petiole</b> green or straw-colored throughout, articulate above base at swollen node, somewhat pliable and resistant to shattering. <b>Blade</b> linear to linear-lanceolate, pinnate-pinnatifid proximally, glabrous or with occasional sessile glands, never viscid; rachis glabrous. <b>Proximal</b> pinnae fan-shaped, wider than long; distal pinnae ovate-lanceolate, longer than wide, abruptly tapered to a rounded or broadly acute apex; largest pinnae with 1–3 pairs of pinnules, abaxial and adaxial surfaces glabrous. <b>Pinnules</b> entire or broadly crenate; margins nonlustrous, thin, lacking cilia or translucent projections. <b>Vein</b> tips slightly (if at all) enlarged, barely 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 39–45 µm. <b>2n</b> = 78.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Woodsia glabella</i> is a well-marked species occasionally confused with narrow, glabrescent forms of <i>W. alpina</i> and <i>W. oregana </i>subsp.<i> oregana</i>. These taxa are readily distinguished from <i>W. glabella</i> by their petioles, which are reddish brown or dark purple near the base.</p>
