Hymenophyllum hirsutum (L.) Sw.

H. hirsutum (L.) Swartz in Schrad. J. Bot. 2, 1801, 99.

Trichomanes hirsutum L. Sp. Pl. 1753, 1098.

Trichomanes ciliatum Swartz Nov. Gen. et Species Pl. 1787, 136.

H. ciliatum Swartz Syn. Fil. 1806, 147.

Hooker (Handbk N.Z. Fl. 1867, 747) recorded: "H. ciliatum Swartz. Rhizome 1-2 in. long. Frond oblong, acuminate, 3-pinnatifid, 2-6 in. long, 1-2 in. broad, main rhachis broadly winged throughout, ciliated; lower pinnae oblong or rhomboid, central part undivided. Segments numerous, spreading, linear, simple or forked. Involucres 2-12 on a pinnule, at the apices of the segments, immersed, suborbicular; valves divided half-way down, ciliated--Hook. Synopsis Fil. 63. Middle Island: Nelson, Travers. Closely allied to H. aeruginosum. (America, Africa)."

No specimens answering this description have since been observed, and Hooker's specimens probably did not come from N.Z.
