Cheilanthes sieberi (Adiantaceae)
|
|
| Cheilanthes
sieberi (narrow rock fern) is an uncommon native fern
that grows widely in dry rocky places in the eastern half of
Tasmania. It is a low growing plant with many times lobed
leaves 10cm long or more. 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 narrower
leaves than the more common C.
austrotenuifolia. |
