Not Notogrammitis angustifolia because of habitat and creeping rhizome. Some fronds unusually obovate for Notogrammitis crassior, and recall Pyrrosia. Also fronds are rather distant for Notogrammitis. (Rhizome scales don't apparently help in distinguishing Pyrrosia eleagnifolia from Notogrammitis.) However, there are no stellate hairs on the specimen which characterise Pyrrosia, and the highest altitude in the eFlora for Pyrrosia is 900 m. Given habitat (inc. altitude) and glabrous fronds, best bet is Notogrammitis crassior. However, reasonable uncertainty.
