A climbing epipytic fern with widely separated irregularly lobed leathery shiny light green fronds. This is an attractive creeping fern that is common on tree ferns as well as branches and trunks of trees on rocks and logs and occasionally on the ground in wet forests and rainforests. It is easy to establish in moist shaded  and protected sites.
