 ヒノキ林の林縁でオオキジノオが見られます。暖地の林内に生えるシダ植物です。近縁のキジノオシダとよく似ていますが、やや大型になり、栄養葉の羽片に柄があることで区別できます。



"Oo-Kijinoo (オオキジノオ)" fern plants are found on the edge of the Japanese cypress woodland. They are a fern plant that grows in the forests in warm climates. They look like the relative species called "Kijinoo-Shida", but they grow larger and their pinnae of sterile fronds have stalks.
