Cheilanthes austrotenuifolia (Adiantaceae) |
 |
| Cheilanthes
austrotenuifolia (rock fern) is a common native fern that grows
widely in dry rocky places in the eastern half of Tasmania. It is a
low growing plant with many times lobed leaves 10cm long or more. It is unusual
in that it is a resurrection plant - the foliage can dry out, then
recover entirely within an hour or so after rain. It has broader
leaves than the less common C.
sieberi. |
