Pyrrosia rupestris known as the Rock Felt Fern is a common fern of eastern Australia. Occurring as an epiphyte or lithophyte in areas of part shade and high moisture. Usually found in rainforest or moist eucalyptus forest. Often seen on rainforest trees quite high above the ground. However it grows as far west at the more arid Warrumbungle National Park. In drought it shrinks and becomes desiccated.
