It is an unusual fern that produces fertile fronds that look like fairies&#8217; combs. It is often upright with upwards of 20 segments, 2+ branched. The repeatedly forked leaves lobes end in sorophores. Rhizomes short creeping upwards of 6 cm in length that is covered with coarse, lustrous, brown hairs extending 2-3 mm in length.  It is common in Australia, New Zealand, Malesia, and Papua New Guinea, as well as Pacific Ocean Islands. It grows approximately 20-40 cm high.  It is named after the Greek word &#8220;dichotoma&#8221; meaning &#8220;twice cut&#8221; because of its fronds branched nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Uses:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Indonesian folk traditions, the root is used to treat coughs and other throat issues as well as a childbirth tonic for women.
