Polyphlebium venosum (formerly known as Crepidomanes venosum; Hymenophyllaceae

Polyphlebium venosum (bristle filmyfern) is the only member of this genus in Tasmania. It is a common native rainforest epiphyte. Like all filmy ferns, the leaf laminas are only one cell thick, but in this species the lobes are multi-veined. The sporangia are in a cylindrical tube with a protruding, hair-like structure.
