Cheilanthes distans (Adiantaceae) |
|
Cheilanthes
distans (bristly cloak fern) is a very rare native fern that is
only known in Tasmania from the Douglas Appsley region. It is a
low growing plant with many times lobed small leaves. 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 smaller
leaves than C.
austrotenuifolia. |
