Ctenopteris heterophylla (Grammitidaceae)

Ctenopteris heterophylla (gypsy fern) is the only member of this genus in Tasmania. It is a common and widespread native fern that grows on rocks, logs and as an epiphyte in rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest and sheltered sites in dry forest. The leaves are quite thick, irregularly pinnately lobed with narrow lobes (usually a few mm wide) and dull green.
