Name That Plant!

Name this Fern

Suzi AKA DesertDance So CA Zone 9b
10 years ago

This fern is growing in the middle of a small plant in one of the planter boxes of our recently purchased home.

We discovered it while pruning back some lantana and bougainvillaea.

What is it, and how do we extract and save it without hurting the plant from which it has planted it's roots?

Thanks!

Suzi
