Tmesipteris
''Tmesipteris'', the hanging fork ferns, is a genus of ferns, one of two genera in the family Psilotaceae, order Psilotales (the other being ''Psilotum''). ''Tmesipteris'' is restricted to certain lands in the Southern Pacific, notably Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. In New Zealand this hanging epiphyte is common in the warm temperate rain forests of both main islands, where it can normally be found as short spiky dark-green fronds (10–15 cm long), often with lighter bag-like sporangia at the bases of some of its "leaves". The plant possesses no true leaves; what appear to be leaves Phylloclade, are flattened stems. The fronds emerge directly from the fibrous root-mats which clad the trunks of mature tree ferns such as ''Dicksonia'' and ''Cyathea''. ''Tmesipteris'' is from the Greek language, meaning a "cut fern", referring to the truncated leaf tips. Species Species include: *''Tmesipteris elongata'' P.A.Dang - from Australia (Victoria and Tasmania) and New Ze ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tmesipteris Horomaka
''Tmesipteris horomaka'', commonly known as the Banks Peninsula fork fern, is a fern ally endemic to New Zealand New Zealand ( mi, Aotearoa ) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island () and the South Island ()—and over 700 smaller islands. It is the sixth-largest island count .... Description ''Tmesipteris horomaka'' is usually found on the stem of the tree ferns, i.e., epiphytic fern or sometimes found on the ground, or soil from decomposing logs, i.e., terrestrial fern.Brownsey, P. J., & Perrie, L. R. (2014). Flora of New Zealand Ferns and Lycophytes. December. https://doi.org/10.7931/J2KW5CXJ Many stems of ''Tmesipteris horomaka'' can be found on a single fern tree, but it is hard to tell whether they belong to single individual fern, as Tmesipteris plants have creeping rootstock from which various shoots may arise.Perrie, L.

Tmesipteris Obliqua
''Tmesipteris obliqua,'' more commonly known as the long fork-fern or common fork-fern, is a weeping, epiphytic fern ally with narrow unbranched leafy stems. ''T. obliqua'' is a member of the genus ''Tmesipteris'', commonly known as hanging fork-ferns. ''Tmesipteris'' is one of two genera in the order ''Psilotales,'' the other genus being ''Psilotum''. ''T. obliqua'' is endemic to eastern Australia. Anatomy and biology ''T. obliqua'' is a weeping, epiphytic fern ally that grows on trunks of tree ferns, such as ''Dicksonia antarctica'' and some rocky surfaces. Fronds of ''T. obliqua'' are unbranched and grow to 20-65cm in length. ''T. obliqua'' has a thick fleshy rhizome but no true roots. This rhizome is brittle and resents disturbance. The stems are usually without branches and smooth at the base, except for a single groove on the upper surface of the lower section of stem. Leaves are oblong in shape, sometimes broad as well, and are roughly 20-30mm in length, 4-8mm wide. Leav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tmesipteris Tannensis
''Tmesipteris tannensis'' is a fern ally endemic to New Zealand. It is usually epiphytic on trees and tree ferns, but is occasionally terrestrial. An example of occurrence of ''T. tannensis'' within a tiered phytocoenosis is in Central Westland of South Island, New Zealand. These forests are the most extensive continuous podocarp/broadleaf forests in New Zealand. The overstory includes miro, rimu and mountain totara. The mid-story includes tree ferns such as ''Cyathea smithii'' and '' Dicksonia squarrosa'', whilst the lowest tier and epiphytic associates include ''Asplenium polyodon'', ''Astelia solandri'' and ''Blechnum discolor ''Lomaria discolor'', synonym ''Blechnum discolor'', commonly called crown fern (Māori: piupiu), is a species of fern in the family Blechnaceae.
