Dennstaedtia davallioides, commonly known as the lacy ground fern, is a species of fern native to eastern Australia, from the Bunya Mountains in central Queensland south through eastern New South Wales, and into Victoria southwest to the Otway Ranges.[1]
It requires some shelter when cultivated, as can easily be damaged by wind and sun. A moisture retentive soil is beneficial. Plants can be attacked by green caterpillars in cultivation.
