Asplenium
appendiculatum is a common native fern that grows in
the understorey of wet forest throughout Tasmania. It grows
on rocks, on the ground, or often as an epiphyte on
Dicksonia antarctica. It is a moderate
sized-fern with many times divided leaves. The sori are
elongated on the lamina (sometimes near the edge) and
protected by a flap of the lamina (an indusium). It is
similar to A.
bulbiferum, but doesn't produces bulbils (small
plants growing from upper parts of the fronds), and has dark
green foliage.
