Blechnum nudum

This fern forms an erect, rounded clump with a small black fibrous trunk, spreading to form large colonies.

This fern has an attractive arching habit.

Like many of the Blechnum species, the fronds bearing the reproductive spores are markedly different in shape to the vegetative fronds.

Spore-bearing fronds are much more slender and appear erect from the centre of the fern.
