Old fertile leaves quite black on the underside; leaves very hairy, less than 15 cm long

Fairly common patches up to 4' tall. Flowers yellow.

The stem adheres to the tree like a tentacle. One stem had reached 30 feet tall. stems reddish brown. NOTE: the altitude given on the label is 6700 ft. This must be an error since nowhere in Chirinda Forest is higher than 1240 m (c. 4070 ft) and Lomariopsis never occurs at such high elevations.

Small simple leaves with only a few found to be fertile. Brown spores occur in narrow rectangles on the top portion of the leaf.

Tall herb with showy white to delicate mauve flowers of very regular petal lobe arrangement. Foul smelling.

Dense patches of this plant have a sour smell. Pure white flowers and tapered petals and a mauvish spot on the lip.

Common. Leaves very showy, often over 3' long with both surfaces shiny, darker green above, sporangia in small dots.

Fern pinnately compound, tufted, with fronds over 2 metres tall; sori round evenly spaced, not quite marginal, light brown; stipe and rhachis deeply channeled above.

Single fronds erect and flattened in one plane with pinnate leaves tapering to a broad point and leaflets distinctly overlapping on the undersurface.

Lax herb, small thin leaves. Flowers pretty mauvish. Whole plant of delicate appearance forming quite dense sward, up to 2 ft high.,

Many fronds growing from the stem with the roots forming a fairly dense fibrous layer

A tree 30' high. Opposite leaves and branching. Flowers have a nauseating odor which attracts insects including many dragonflies; free flowering with numerous regularly rounded heads; bark rough, dark.

Fern with pinnate leaves. Leaflets pointed, long lobed. Small plant developes on tip vegetatively.

Fronds pinnate with pinnae mainly alternate & tapered to fine tips. Distinctly pilose on undersurface of pinnae midribs.

Flattened in one plane & often trifoliolate; sori in blackish lines along leaf margin.

Fronds with pinnae curling at tips; spores in narrow marginal lines; pinnate.

Tree 40' tall; leaf petioles quite red, possibly due to more sun. Bark pale brown. When bark is lightly scraped it falls off to reveal a bright orange underbark, not slash.

Simple leaves which are densely and conspicuously ferruginous and white pubescent. roots covered in ferruginous straw-like layers.

Enormous liane, very common. New leaves are densely tomentose.

Common fern to 3' tall. Vegetative buds evident on fronds

Climber, cream green flowers, red on throat outside, sweet scented

Fern with simple linear dark green glabrous fronds in tufts. Up to half a meter long, hanging almost vertically.
