Cheilanthes sieberi (Adiantaceae) |
|
Cheilanthes
sieberi (narrow rock fern) is an uncommon 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
narrower leaves than the more common
C. austrotenuifolia. |
