Sticherus urceolatus (Gleicheniaceae)

Sticherus urceolatus is a common native groundfern, especially in the north-east. It grows along watercourses in and near rainforest. 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 hairy and the pinnules arise at an oblique angle to the midrib.
