Asplenium bulbiferum

This is a hardy, common, usually epiphytic fern.

It has a tufted growth to about 1 m high. Yellow elongate sori occur on the underside of the fronds.

It is often found growing on the trunks of Dicksonia tree-ferns or attached to rotting logs and boulders in moist habitats such as stream banks.
