Uncommon. Growing on Waitemata Group Formation cliff face (in fine siltstone member of this turbidite sequence)
Blechnum novae-zelandiae common in mixed beech forest
found in the shade in the gully near the restored wetland. Had separate fertile and non-fertile fronds.
While the scales on the pinnae are uniformly pale, there are definite black spots on the scales on the lower stipe.
Single plant on muddy gully floor. Seems a good candidate for B. minus. B. novae-zelandiae uncommon on surrounding banks.
Abundant, with new growth, in upland scrub
