Field Collection Notes
Asplenium bulbiferum subsp. gracillimum nom. rev. July 2006. Specimen assumed to be A. hookerianum and collected because most other plants are usually of much smaller size, as noted in Craig's Bush. Not common in this bush. Fallow deer have eaten much of the understorey but several fern spp. survive.
