Occurrence remarks I'm curious about this fern. I dont think it is L. trichomanoides, but that's what AI thinks. Note the enclosed or cupped indusium and sori at the end of each triangular (gingko shaped) leaflet (pinnule?). It has a similar appearance to the common maidenhair which grows in the same location, except that it is much smaller and has finer, lace like texture when you run it through your fingers. The rachis is no more than about 25mm long and the fern is growing beneath a large boulder on a south facing slope of a gully on the side of ridge. The area is strewn with granite. Soil is greyish clay/sandy. It is exceptionally fragile and breaks off easily when handled. I dont know much about ferns but this one is not something I am familiar with in this region.
