Oceaniopteris cartilaginea, synonym Blechnum cartilagineum,[1] is known as the gristle fern or soft water fern. It is a resilient and abundant fern growing in eastern Australia, seen in rainforest and eucalyptus forest. The new growth is often pink or reddish in colour.
It is very tolerant of dry conditions once established in a shady area.
