Lastreopsis microsora subsp. microsora
Rhizome creeping, less than 6 mm diam., covered in brown scales. Fronds separated by more than 10 cm, erect to spreading, 40–90 cm tall. Stipe longer than lamina, hairy throughout, scaly at base, with scattered scales above. Lamina 3-pinnate, broadly triangular, pale green to mid-green, relatively soft, hairs frequent, mostly restricted to veins; rachises with abundant hairs and usually a few scattered scales. Pinnules asymmetrically oblong, blunt, with broad shallow teeth or lobes. Sori c. 1 mm or more diam.; indusium persistent, pale brown, with yellow glandular hairs near centre.
EGL, EGU. Only found east of Cann River, but locally dominant in warm-temperate rainforest (e.g. Mt Drummer, Harrisons Creek and Howe Range east of Mallacoota).
Distinguished from other species of Lastreopsis by its well-spaced fronds along a thin rhizome, and its broadly triangular, pale to mid-green, 3-pinnate, lamina with frequent hairs on veins, and leaflets with blunt apices and shallow teeth.
