Gleichenia abscida (Gleicheniaceae)

Gleichenia abscida (dwarf coral fern) is an uncommon native ground fern that grows in open heathy vegetation in very wet locations in south-west Tasmania. It is unusual among the Gleicheniaceae in that the fronds are divided into two main branches (rather than the repeated branching found in other species).
