Discussion

Polystichum aleuticum is known only from Atka and Adak islands, Alaska. Its nearest relatives are in southwest China. Polystichum aleuticum resembles the dwarfed plants of P. kruckebergii, but it differs, especially, in its smaller, more rounded pinna apices and more abundant scales.

Of conservation concern.
