Description

aka Diplodium alveata

Fairly recently self-introduced Australian species, distinguishable from other local species of the 'Diplodium' group by having larger leaves in non-flowering plants and in the flowers by the apiculate tip to the dorsal sepal and heavy 'jug spout' rolled sinus to the synsepalum. There are two sites widely separated within the park, both are somewhat endangered by careless track maintenance activities which have taken place recently and subsequent drought conditions. It is not endangered in Australia.
