Notogrammitis angustifolia is a species of fern. It is found in Chile, Argentina, Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.[2]
Description
It can be distinguished by the usually erect to short-creeping rhizome, the narrow, linear, winged, glabrous fronds (<7 mm wide, up to 130mm in length),[3] the lack of distinct stipes, the absence of hairs in the sori, and sori often being more or less parallel to the midrib.[2] The sporangia are in groups on either side of the midrib.[3]
The fronds are up to 130mm in length according to some sources,[3] but less than 100mm according to others.[4]
Range and habitat
This species is found from sea level up to 1400m in New Zealand, and on the main islands as well as the outlying islands. [2] It can be epiphytic, lithophytic,[5] or found as a subalpine scrub.[3]
Ecology
This species is epiphytic on Dracophyllum in New Zealand,[4] and Olearia in Tasmania.[5] On Tristan da Cunha and Gough it is found on the stems of Bog Ferns and Island Trees.[6]
Etymology
Angustifolia means 'narrow-leaf' in scientific Latin.[4]
Taxonomy
The species was originally described by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in 1786, based on a type specimen from the Straits of Magellan.[7] This species was moved with some others out of Grammitis in 2012.[4][7]
