Hymenophyllum australe (Hymenophyllaceae)

Hymenophyllum australe is a common native wet forest epiphyte. It is a relatively large filmy fern, and is one of the most common of these species in Tasmania. Like all filmy ferns, the leaf laminas are only one cell thick. The sporangia are in a cup at the edge of the leaf.
