Botrychium australe (Ophioglossaceae)

 
Botrychium australe (parsley fern) is either extinct in Tasmania or extremely rare. It was only ever found in the Central Highlands, and probably grew in subalpine grasslands. Each plant produces one frond that divides into irregularly lobed vegetative lamina, and a similarly lobed fertile frond.
