Excellent! Max Gray (of 'Flora of the ACT' fame) has this in his 1978 ACT ferns list but I have never seen one.

I'm glad you are pleased... I've seen it in a number of places in Tuggeranong Hill Reserve and the foothills to Mount Rob Roy, and once in the northern end of Giggerline.

I think it's quite an important find. As I recall (and this is going back a long while) Max Gray reported it only from the Brindabellas near Mt Franklin

I didn't know it was that rare. I'll make a point of recording it on the CNM each time I see it.

The chances are it is "locally common", but you need to know where the "local" is.
