Hymenophyllum flabellatum (Hymenophyllaceae)

 
Hymenophyllum flabellatum is a common native fern in wet forests. It is the largest of Tasmania's filmy ferns, and grows on the ground and logs. Like all filmy ferns, the leaf laminas are only one cell thick.  The sporangia are in a cup at the edge of the leaf.
