A fern which thrives in the sun. Narrowly triangular fronds are greyish in colour. The stalk (stipe) and midrib (rachis) are a brownish purple colour and covered in long hairs, and the leaflets of the frond also have hairs, hence "Hairy Lip Fern". Which doesn't exactly sound appealing, but it is always very popular nevertheless!
