|discussion=<p>A form of Oncophorus virens with coarsely toothed distal margins, was once treated as var. serratus and is often found on rocks in or near streams. The North American material examined (as noted also by A. J. Grout 1928–1940, vol. 2) varies considerably in the shape of the leaf base, the extent of the revolute leaf margins, and the presence or absence of alar cells in young plants.</p>
