Schizaea asperula (Schizaeaceae)

 
Schizaea asperula is a rare native fern that grows on sandy soils at low altitudes in the north and east. It is a small slender plant that can easily be overlooked. Like the other species of Schizaea, it has the very distinctive comb-like fertile fronds. The fertile and sterile fronds are branched many times.
