Blechnum cartilagineum
A beautiful fern which looks like many others but is quite different in that the blades are lengthy and graceful with each being deeply dissected to the rachis. The pinnae are connected to each other at the base (pic 2) and their margins are wavy.
Spotted growing with umbrella ferns, coral ferns and many others in a damp gully - Sailor's Bay walking track, NSW
Class: Polypodiopsida Order: Blechnales Family: Blechnaceae
