Contributor's comments: Many the argument (albeit friendly) my husband and I had while courting in Tasmania. Me, the Tasmanian would argue until I was blue in the face that it was man fern. Him, being Victorian would insist on tree fern. We still argue about it when we see one. All in fun!

Contributor's comments: Used in Tasmania instead of tree fern.
