Leaves with cordate bases, scabrid; fruit bright red, small

Detailed area description attached to label.

The stem adheres to the tree like a tentacle. One stem had reached 30 feet tall. stems reddish brown. NOTE: the altitude given on the label is 6700 ft. This must be an error since nowhere in Chirinda Forest is higher than 1240 m (c. 4070 ft) and Lomariopsis never occurs at such high elevations.

Small simple leaves with only a few found to be fertile. Brown spores occur in narrow rectangles on the top portion of the leaf.

Tall herb with showy white to delicate mauve flowers of very regular petal lobe arrangement. Foul smelling.

Dense patches of this plant have a sour smell. Pure white flowers and tapered petals and a mauvish spot on the lip.

Common. Leaves very showy, often over 3' long with both surfaces shiny, darker green above, sporangia in small dots.

See detailed notes on image 2.

Single fronds erect and flattened in one plane with pinnate leaves tapering to a broad point and leaflets distinctly overlapping on the undersurface.

Lax herb, small thin leaves. Flowers pretty mauvish. Whole plant of delicate appearance forming quite dense sward, up to 2 ft high.,

Many fronds growing from the stem with the roots forming a fairly dense fibrous layer

Enormous liane, very common. New leaves are densely tomentose.
