Lindsaea repens (Bory) Thwaites

Rhizome long-scandent, castaneous; scales triangular, narrowly triangular, or lanceolate, with a very short uniseriate apex, the larger ones 2.5-3.5 mm long. Leaves one to a few cm apart, issuing under a small angle; petioles stramineous to pale brown with dark base, quadrangular, the faces not sulcate. Lamina linear, simply pinnate, narrowed at both ends, or sometimes little narrowed at the base; rachis stramineous, quadrangular, adaxially at the base ± convex, the pinnules inserted below the edges, upwards sulcate, bearing the pinnules at its edges. Pinnules numerous, herbaceous, elongate-triangular, ligulate, or 1/4-elliptic, the upper ones gradually and strongly reduced, a few confluent into a pinnatifid leaf-apex. Upper margin shallowly incised. Juvenile plants with deeply (bi)pinnatifid, thin pinnules, sterile; but in transitional cases leaves may be fertile in the upper part and bear sterile pinnules of the juvenile shape in the basal part. Veins immersed free, once or twice forked. Sori interrupted. Spores pale brown, trilete, smooth, c. 22-26 μ.

In Qld, epiphytic (rarely terrestrial) in rainforest.
