Additional notes:     

• Blechnum fluviatile (ray water fern) is a common native ground fern that grows near water both in rainforests and in open places. Its habitat is relatively similar to B. chambersi, but it often grows at higher altitude and is smaller. It is a smallish ground fern with dark green fronds often about 40cm long.
