The crow’s nest fern (Asplenium australasicum) is found in rainforests in New South Wales and Queensland.  An epiphyte, it is found in trees and on rocks and fallen logs.  Popular as a garden plant, the ferns have previously been illegally removed from natural areas.

The crow’s nest fern is photographed here in Walker’s Rainforest in the Lockyer Catchment of South East Queensland, where the landholder has protected a spectacular display of the ferns from poachers.
