Found in coastal to subalpine regions.  The large fronds of this fern provide a shady moist place for frogs to hide. The lower lobe of each pinna has a bat wing-like appearance from whence it name comes.   This medium-sized fern produces approx. 60-200 cm long fronds that are widely spaced, distinct, and slightly dimorphic with fertile lobes.  Rhizomes are long-creeping, scaly, with stipes and rachis chestnut-brown at the base otherwise mainly yellow-brown blarous except for basal scales, glossy, with stipe .15-1.2 meters long, 5-10 mm in diameter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Uses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ornamental &#8211; both indoor and outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>References: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>nzpcn.org.nz  n.d.  &#8220;Histiopteris incisa&#8221;  website referenced 6\/23\/21 at https:\/\/www.nzpcn.org.nz\/flora\/species\/histiopteris-incisa\/<\/li><li>Wikipedia  n.d.  &#8220;Histiopteris incisa&#8221;  website referenced 6\/23\/21 at https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Histiopteris_incisa<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-050.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-050.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=800&#038;ssl=1 800w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"533\" data-id=\"7995\" data-link=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/science\/?attachment_id=7995\" data-url=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-050.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-050.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-051.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-051.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=800&#038;ssl=1 800w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"533\" data-id=\"7996\" data-link=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/science\/?attachment_id=7996\" data-url=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-051.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/technotink.net\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/050211-051.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Official page: https:\/\/treeleavesoracle.com\/lore\/?p=103 Histiopteris incisa Also known as bat&#8217;s wing fern, water fern, histiopteris, mata, and fern mata.
