 |
| 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. |
