Hymenophyllum Capillaceum
''Hymenophyllum'' is a genus of ferns in the family Hymenophyllaceae. Its name means "membranous leaf", referring to the very thin translucent tissue of the fronds, which gives rise to the common name filmy fern for this and other thin-leaved ferns. The leaves are generally only one cell thick and lack stomata, making them vulnerable to desiccation. Consequently, they are found only in very humid areas, such as in moist forests and among sheltered rocks. They are small and easy to overlook. Species , World Ferns accepted the following extant species: Extinct species include: *†'' Hymenophyllum axsmithii'' (Ypresian, Eocene Okanagan Highlands The Eocene Okanagan Highlands or Eocene Okanogan Highlands are a series of Early Eocene geological formations which span a transect of British Columbia, Canada, and Washington state, United States.

The Ferns Of Great Britain And Ireland
''The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland'' was a book published in 1855 that featured 51 plates of nature printing by Henry Bradbury. Description The text was a scientific description of all the varieties of ferns found in the British Isles The British Isles are an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean off the north-western coast of continental Europe, consisting of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Inner Hebrides, Inner and Outer Hebr .... The author of this work was the botanist Thomas Moore, the editor was John Lindley. The book was released at a time of so-called " pteridomania" in Britain. Along with William Grosart Johnstone and Alexander Croall's ''Nature-Printed British Sea-Weeds'' (London, 1859–1860), the book featured Bradbury's innovative nature printing process. The publisher of the work was Bradbury and Evans. Bradbury patented the process after seeing the invention of Alois Auer - though the identity of its ...

Hymenophyllum Australe
''Hymenophyllum australe'', commonly known as austral filmy fern, is a relatively large rupestral and epiphytic fern, indigenous to eastern Australia and New Zealand. It belongs to the unique '' Hymenophyllum'' genus ( filmy ferns), which are characterised by their thin membranous fronds that are seldom more than one cell thick, with the exception of regions over and around veins. ''Hymenophyllum australe'' is distinctive in that the fronds are typically thicker than other ''Hymenophyllum'' species, often being up to 2-3 cells thick.Garrett, M. (1986, December). "Fairies of the Fern World"'', Newsletter Number 35'', pp. 9. Retrieved from URL (https://www.verdigris.com.au/default.aspx?hid=310) ''Hymenophyllum australe'' is inconspicuous and will typically form matted patches together with mosses and liverworts. In Australia it takes on an epiphytic approach, commonly seen to clothe roots, trunks and rocks to form a dense mat of foliage; while in New Zealand it adopts a more rheop ...

Hymenophyllum Nephrophyllum
''Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum'', commonly known as the kidney fern, is a filmy fern species native to New Zealand. It commonly grows on the forest floor of open native bush. Individual kidney-shaped fronds stand about 5–10 cm tall. In hot weather they shrivel up to conserve moisture, but open up again when the wet returns. This species has very thin fronds which are only four to six cells in thickness. In the Māori language they are also called raurenga. A specific example of occurrence of ''H. nephrophyllum'' is within forested areas of Westland, New Zealand, where it occurs with other fern species including crown fern, '' Blechnum discolor''. Description ''Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum ''is a fern distinctive for its undivided, kidney-shaped fronds, which give the plant its English common name, the kidney fern.
