Ancestor:Descendants:

The nested brush carnifern has split from its ancestor and spread west.The name derives from the way the leaf filaments are arranged. Each branch grows from the base and new brushes, sub-branch and leaf assemblies, form here at regular intervals. Each brush consists of a sub-branch and two rows of leaf filaments, the filaments grow angled slightly outward allowing each new brush to form within the one before it. The leaf filaments are stiff, allowing them to remain in place against the force of gravity.
