Dennstaedtiaceae

 

 
Tasmania has seven native species in three genera of the family Dennstaedtiaceae. They have multiply compound leaves and are ground ferns that mostly occur in the understorey of forests. The family includes bracken (Pteridium esculentum), and some very common disturbance plants in wet forests, as well as some true rainforest species.
