This plant produces its fertile blade in the Autumn and October is supposed to be the best month to see it. By April therefore there are only leaves, which are a maximum of 2 cm long but often less than that. We found this plant with a dried up remains of a fertile blade. The plant always grows in mossy patches near the sea and on this expedition we found a site with one or two plants unknown previously to our local botanist friends.
