A known site for Gristle fern first recorded here in 2024. My suspicion is that this one germinated during the wet years and is now 'feeling the burn' of an urban nature reserve far away from its usual lush understory. I can't imagine that the plants persist here long.

I was surprised to see the fern in this place. It is in a small gully, but it appears generally a drier area and as the map shows, there is not much shade. Blechnum nudum is used as a garden plant and this spot is only a few hundred meters from adjacent suburbs. I assume spores could easily travel that far in a breeze.

I’m inclined to think this may be a B. Minus. May need to wait until it gets a bit bigger.
