Abstract
We report a record of Dryopteris goldieana (Goldie’s Fern; Dryopteridaceae) from the Bras d’Or Lakes watershed, new to the native flora of Nova Scotia. A small population of the species was discovered in 2020 in a Populus balsamifera (Balsam Poplar) floodplain forest of the Baddeck River, Victoria County, Cape Breton Island, NS, Canada.
