Isn't A.bulbiferum a New Zealand species.

Yeah I think you're right here actually I think it was actually revised into A. gracilimum and A. flaccidum from memory? So yeah not sure what your thoughts are here

A.flaccidum has fronds that are more significantly divided than this, it's quite distinctive.
See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/173303745 for A.flaccidum
and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/171904927 for A.bulbiferum

Both from New Zealand.

oops, ID was done with the Tas Dicot Key, which is out of date at that best of time! I have to remember to check the Tas plant census for updates. Still trying to find my ID feet :) Thanks for your patience
