Histiopteris incisa (Dennstaedtiaceae) |
 |
 |
| Histiopteris
incisa (bat's wing fern) is a very common and widespread
native fern that grows in the understorey of wet sclerophyll forest
(sometimes rainforest), or most commonly after these forests have
been disturbed. It is a moderately large ground fern, made
distinctive by its glaucous leaves that are distinctly soft and
slightly fleshy. It commonly occurs with
Hypolepis rugosula,
but differs from that species in that the pinnules are much wider
(~3-4mm wide). |
