[1] Cryptogramma ferns can be found in temperate regions on several continents worldwide.

The fertile leaves have long, narrow, bumpy segments with undersides covered thickly in sporangia.

The edges of the segments may curl back to cover the sporangia, forming a false indusium.

In North America, species within this genus are distributed over western and northern United States, Northwestern Mexico, and Canada.
