Ooooh interesting, I don't recognize it, looks to me like a flowering plant so perhaps it is a epiphytic orchid. @DerekC thoughts??

A lovely little fern, tends to be associated with epiphytic orchids in damp habitats such as rainforest and rainforest margins. Also grows on rock.

If possible, always photograph fertile fronds, spore side. But this certainly looks like P. rupestris
