Lastreopsis nephrodioides
Parapolystichum nephrodioides is a fern in the family Dryopteridaceae. The specific epithet refers to its resemblance to Nephrodium decompositum R.Br. (= Lastreopsis decomposita (R.Br.) Tindale).
The fern is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea; it occurs in forest on the southern parts of the Island, especially at higher elevations.
