Blechnum montanum is a hardy fern that grows in cold wet alpine conditions. It forms clumps (0.3m high) by a creeping rhizome. It grows from Mt Pirongia, the volcanic plateau and Mt Egmont/Taranaki south in the North Island and through the South, Chatham, Antipodes, Auckland and Campbell Islands. Its habitat is the forest timberline, in subalpine scrub, rocky and grass areas. The new fronds have a pink/red/orange colour. The spores are spread by wind.
