Cyathea propinqua

Also known as: Sphaeropteris propinqua
Family: Cyatheaceae

Recognition:

• the indusia completely enclose the sori, but fold back at maturity to be all but obscured.
• the stipe is very short (cf. C. microlepidota).

Distribution: only found in Fiji.

Very similar to C. microlepidota, which differs in having an obvious stipe.
