Descriptions
Asplenium hookerianum Colenso
Rhizome short, erect, clad in dense linear-acuminate paleae c. 1 cm. long; stipites tufted, paleate at base. Stipes slender, 2-15 cm. long, ± paleate. Rhachis slender, compressed, densely paleate to nude, with about 11 lateral pinnae. Lamina ovate-oblong to lanceolate-oblong, acuminate to acute, dark green, membr., bipinnate to pinnate, 5-15-(25) × 2.5-5-(10) cm. Pinnae stalked to subsessile, ovate- to narrow-oblong, 2.5-8 cm. × 15-20 mm. Pinnules few ((3)-5-(10)), 5-10 × 3-10 mm., obovate-oblong to rhomboid, stalked to subsessile, obliquely cuneate at base, crenate- to inciso-serrate; veinlets forked. Sori remote from margin, 2-4 mm. long, oblong, sts confluent and covering most of undersurface of pinnule; indusium firm.
Rhachis very slender to filiform; lamina membr., delicate; pinnae again pinnate to pinnatisect; segs narrow-linear, obtuse, c. 2-5 mm. long; sori 2-4 mm. long, submarginal.
Asplenium hookerianum Colenso
Rhizome short, erect, bearing numerous brown, ovate, acuminate scales up to 10 × 2 mm. Stipes 2-10 cm long, pale brown below, green above, densely covered in small, subulate to narrowly ovate scales with filiform apices (Fig. 17T-Z). Laminae lanceolate to rhombic, 4—25 × 1-15 cm, dark green, thin, normally bipinnate but often pinnate when young and almost tripinnate in well-grown specimens. Raches green, slender, and very scaly. Pinnae 5-15 pairs, very narrowly ovate to ovate, obtuse to acuminate, long-stalked, 1-8 × 0.5-2 cm, basal pair pointing upwards when fresh. Pinnules stalked, 3-10 pairs, linear to suborbicular, crenate to deeply incised (or almost pinnate), 3-12 × 3-10 mm, tending to lie at 90° to plane of frond in well-grown specimens. Sori sub-marginal on narrow pinnules, remote from margins on broad segments, 1-3 mm long. Spores (25)31-37(42) mcm long, (19)23-27(33) mcm wide (9 populations), perispore very prominently winged and ridged (Fig. 30G-H).
