In areas where the climate does not favour a riot of fern growth - and the Canberra Region is a case in point - the niche environments are very clearly marked by the types of fern that grow there. Ferns in fact provide a remarkably good set of ecological indicators. Here are some examples from around Canberra. 1  Asplenium bulbiferum, Mother Spleenwort, grows only near permanent running water, usually in or near waterfalls. The same is true for Hymenophyllum cupressiforme, Filmy Fern. 2  Asplenium trichomanes, the Common Spleenwort, grows only on or near limestone outcrops.

These ferns have green fronds with yellow midribs and reproduce via spores located at the tip of each frond.
