Field Collection Notes
Very uncommon. A few plants growing on windswept clay on seaward side of forest. Fronds very dark green when fresh. This plant appears to be A. hookerianum but in some respects it could also be depauperate A. gracillimum - a fern which is very common in this reserve.
DNA Voucher for Asplenium study.
