Hymenophyllum applanatum (formerly known as Aptopteris

Hymenophyllum applanatum (skeleton filmyfern)
is an uncommon native rainforest epiphyte. Like all
filmy ferns, the leaf laminas are only one cell thick, but
in this species are densely covered in hairs so the leaves
look quite thick and are not translucent. It typically grows
on the trunks of Athrotaxis species, especially King Billy Pine.
