The pinnae are too long for the tuberous sword fern (N. cordifolia), and likely too long for the non-native Asian swordfern (N. brownei), but this species can be variable in size.  However, my gesthalt from the pic tells me it is macho fern.

Hi Steve.

This was sold to me as a macho fern, yes. I was concerned it might have been the tuberous variety.

Definitely a species of Nephrolepis, might be Macho fern (Nephrolepis biserrata).  I need to see a whole plant, preferably in person.
