多年生土生植物。茎直立或斜生，高10-30厘米，中部直径1.5-3. 5毫米，枝连叶宽1.5-4.0厘米，2-4回二叉分枝，枝上部常有芽胞。叶螺旋状排列，疏生，平伸，狭椭圆形，向基部明显变狭，通直，长1-3厘米，宽1-8毫米，基部楔形，下延有柄，先端急尖或渐尖，边缘平直不皱曲，有粗大或略小而不整齐的尖齿，两面光滑，有光泽，中脉突出明显，薄革质。孢子叶与不育叶同形；孢子囊生于孢子叶的叶腋，两端露出，肾形，黄色。
全国除西北地区部分省区、华北地区外均有分布。生于海拔300-2700米的林下、灌丛下、路旁。亚洲其他国家 (如日本、朝鲜半岛、泰国、越南、老挝、柬埔寨、印度、尼泊尔、缅甸、斯里兰卡、菲律宾、马来西亚、印度尼西亚等) 、太平洋地区、俄罗斯、大洋洲、中美洲有分布。模式标本采自日本，存于瑞典。
许多蕨类学者在本种下又分数个变种或变型，我们认为，对于这样的广布种，宜采用相对大一点的种的概念，因而本文将有关种下等级予以归并。
叶缘具粗齿是本种的识别特征。
