Stenochlaena  

Stenochlaena is a genus of climbing ferns from the family Blechnaceae (FloraBase, 2014). It is compromised mainly of  large climbing, or scadent ferns, that range from Asia and Oceania to North America, with two species, one from Africa and the other China, pending further investigation as to whether they belong in the genus. One species, Stenochlaena palaustris, or the Swamp Climbing Fern, is native to Australia. Ferns from Stenochlaena are typically found in tropical areas with water and high humidity (Chambers, 2013).
