Odd Fern

JohnnyD:
Does anyone have a clue as to the identity of this fern - said to be from New Zealand?

Olive Mason:
I think your fern could be Phymatosorus diversifolius.  The fronds are said to vary from simple to pinnatifid even on the same piece of rhizome.  I did try to grow it outside once but it failed.

Maggi Young:
Well done, Olive, on being up to date with a more recent naming of Microsorum pustulatum  in using Phymatosorus diversifolius - and Cliff for citing the article with all the details.
I must admit - ferns are almost a complete mystery to me!

JohnnyD:
Thanks Olive - and Cliff.
This SRGC forum is something else.
