Blechnum Novae-Zelandiae
Blechnum novae-zelandiae is commonly known as palm-leaf fern or kiokio.
It can often be found growing in clay soil on embankments, roadsides and along water races.
Kiokio has long fronds that grow up to two metres long by 50 centimetres wide. They are pink when new and as they age they turn green and darken.
