Cheilanthes distans (Adiantaceae)
|
|
| Cheilanthes
distans (bristly cloak fern) is a very rare native
fern that is only known in Tasmania from the Douglas Appsley
region. It is a low growing plant with many times lobed
small leaves. It is unusual in that it is a resurrection
plant - the foliage can dry out, then recover entirely
within an hour or so after rain. It has smaller leaves than
C.
austrotenuifolia. |
