Microsorum pustulatum (=Microsorum diversifolium or
Phymatosorus pustulatus; Polypodiaceae) |
 |
| Microsorum
pustulatum (kangaroo fern) is the only member of this genus and
family in
Tasmania. It is a very common and widespread
native fern that grows on the ground, rocks, logs and as an epiphyte in
rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest and in more open places in the
subalpine zone. The thick, broad, glossy leaves that are unlobed or with a
few coarse lobes, and large (~3-4mm wide) circular sori make this
fern very distinctive. |
