Sticherus lobatus (Gleicheniaceae)

Sticherus lobatus (spreading fan fern) is an uncommon native groundfern that grows in wet peaty sites under rainforest in the northwest and west. It has the typical Sticherus foliage, which is repeatedly dichotomously divided before ending in pinnate laminas, ending elongated pinnules with superficial sori. The distinctive feature is that the undersides of the pinnules are hairless.
