I thought it was when I got it, but the appearance of the fertile fronds (the thin ones in the pic) knocks that one out. Sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis) has a fertile frond made up of sori shaped like clusters of little "beads". This fern, the Netted Chain Fern (Woodwardia areolata) as pictured. The two tallest fronds are the fertile ones.
