Ferns
Although fairly common and abundant in surrounding areas, ferns are not that numerous in terms of species around the Estuary, but several can be seen in close proximity including the specialist Water Fern.
A checklist of ferns recorded from the area is included here. Information is basic and continually up-dated with links given by the usual method to a wealth of additional information. Headings and columns A and B are locked, so are always visible. This checklist does not follow a recognised format as one doesn't appear to exist for species recorded in Aotearoa New Zealand. Web address links are edited to fit within the static species columns. List can be downloaded and additions for personal use be "save as". These will not be saved to the web.
