Interesting one. Not an Asplenium. Possibly a young Polystichum of some sort. Maybe even Customers.

Oddly, B. cartilagineum has been recorded in the Black Mountain reserve, just off Belconnen Way, too. I found a specimen in a gully on Aranda Hill, under a fallen log, in a clear path below power lines. Also Polystichum proliferum in the same spot. This was back in the 1970s. A very hardy fern.

A known site for Gristle fern first recorded here in 2024. My suspicion is that this one germinated during the wet years and is now 'feeling the burn' of an urban nature reserve far away from its usual lush understory. I can't imagine that the plants persist here long.
