Hypolepis ambigua
Also called Pigfern
Hypolepis ambigua, commonly known as pigfern, is a species of fern that grows in New Zealand.
H. ambigua is a lowlands species that prefers to grow in more open areas. It can be most commonly found in bush margins, forest clearings, open grassland, open forest, and scrub. It often forms large colonies due to its fast-growing rhizomes. Its propensity for disturbed soil means that it also frequently is found in urban areas.
