There is a considerable range in stature and plants only 10 cm. tall may bear sori.
Asplenium bulbiferum G.Forst.
Rhizome short, stout, erect, bearing ovate scales up to 15 × 5 mm. Stipes 5-30 cm long, brown on underside, green above, stout, covered in small brown ovate scales. Laminae lanceolate to elliptic, 15-120 × 7-30 cm, bi- to tripinnate, sometimes bearing bulbils. Raches green, scaly, prominently grooved. Pinnae 15—30 (or more) pairs, ovate to narrowly ovate, acuminate, shortly stalked, 3-20 × 1-5 cm, scaly on underside, basal pair pointing downwards when fresh. Secondary pinnae sessile or shortly stalked, very narrowly elliptic to ovate or elliptic, obtuse, deeply serrate or sometimes almost pinnate, decreasing in size from base to apex, basal acroscopic pinnule often enlarged (up to 4 × 1 cm). Ultimate pinnules narrowly oblong, ± entire to crenate-serrate, up to 1 cm long. Sori numerous, broad, submarginal, 2-4 mm long. Perispore of spores irregularly ridged (Fig. 30K-N).
Stipe scales ovate, lacking long apical projections (Fig. 17A-E). Laminae pale green, usually bulbiferous. Spores (33)41-48(55) mcm long, (21)28- 32(37) mcm wide (3 populations).
