A very rare plant. We had difficulty finding this as we couldn't find any decent pictures of this fern in the reference books or on the Web and it was on an overgrown roadside bank among other ferns and distracting vegetation. This was a good example of rare plant hunting. We were given the exact location with small details, accurately located where it was growing but couldn't recognise it until we'd been looking for a while.
