Gleichenia microphylla
This attractive fern had thin wiry rachis and midrib with leaflets like teeth of a saw. The whole plant felt stiff but had a soft look as it clambered on neighbouring plants. The underside did not have any spore sacs.
Spotted near a lake in a well-shaded area. Seen growing in South East Asia, New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand.
