Hymenophyllum cupressiforme Labill.

As a comprehensive description is given in Tindale (1963), only a brief description, drawn up from New Zealand material, is given below. Rhizome thin, long-creeping, extensively branched and often matforming. Stipes 0.3-3.0 (-4.0) cm long, dark brown, sparsely hairy at base, elsewhere glabrous, always narrowly winged at apex, usually to half the length of the stipe and often almost to base. Main rachis with entire or toothed margin narrowing to base. Fronds 1-5 (-7) cm long, including the stipes, dark green, erect to decurved. Lamina 0.5-3.0 cm long, 0.5-2.0 cm broad, 2-pinnate-pinnatifid to 3-pinnatifid, ellipticoblong. All primary pinnae winged to rachis, alternate, lobed on both sides. Sori indusiate, marginal, on short lateral segments, usually solitary, mostly borne close to the main rachis on the acroscopic side of the secondary rachis. Involucre 1-1.3 mm long, 1.3-1.7 mm broad, obovate, two-valved, valves divided to base, wider than the ultimate segments, persistent, green, margin almost entire or erase or slightly denticulate. Receptacle included to slightly exserted at maturity.
