The distinct bifurcation in the frond and long thin 'stems' are indicative of a Sticherus sp.

Or possibly S.tener? I've never actually seen either, so curious what features you've used?

@Tapirlord Think you might onto it with the S.tener. The best ID comes from looking at the placement of the sori and presence of the indusium. But i didn't bov looking that close whoops. S.urceolatus has a more north-eastern distribution while S.tener is more south-west.
