Blechnum (Blechnaceae)

 
Tasmania has nine native species of Blechnum (water ferns). These are mostly terrestrial or grow on rocks. All but one species have pinnate leaves, with undivided pinnae. In all but one species the sporangia are borne on fronds that are similar in size and to the fertile fronds but have much narrower pinnae.
