Lastreopsis microsora is small native fern which is fairly common on shady damp riverbanks, lowland and coastal forests of the North Island. In the South Islands, it is found only from Westland and to Dunedin north in coastal regions. It is also found n eastern Australia.
Its fronds are erect, broad-triangular, 3–4-pinnate, usually 30–90 cm long. A distinctive feature is very small pale brown circular sori under the fronds. It has a creeping rhizome which will form large adjoining colonies. It will also reproduce with self-sown spores.
Sold in nurseries.
