Microsorum pustulatum
Beautiful ground covering fern with glossy, bright, green fronds. Can be epiphytic, growing on trees with long, creeping rhizomes. The rhizomes are thick and fleshy with a pressed reptilian scale looking surface. Excellent in a hanging basket, large pot, or trained to grow over rocks, and logs. Very common in forest and scrub on trees, rocks or dry ground. Prefers a moist shaded site.
