Hymenophyllum peltatum (Hymenophyllaceae)

Hymenophyllum peltatum (alpine filmyfern) is a common native fern that often grows as a rainforest epiphyte, but will also occur on rocks in well-watered subalpine areas. Like all filmy ferns, the leaf laminas are only one cell thick. The sporangia are in a cup at the edge of the leaf.
