Gully fern, pākauroharoha, Pneumatopteris pennigera. As the colloquial name suggests, gully fern tends to grow in damp, shady places. It is a medium-sized ground fern. It can be distinguished from other New Zealand ferns by having its spore capsules clustered in dark circles on the underside of the frond, and the network of dark veins on its thin green fronds.
