Pleurosorus rutifolius (Aspleniaceae)

Pleurosorus rutifolius (blanket fern) is the only member of this genus in Tasmania. It is a moderately common native fern that grows in dry rocky places. It is a small fern with pinnate leaves with lobed leaflets. However, its very hairy leaves make this species unmistakeable.
