I'm not up on the swampy places Blechnums - why is it camfieldii and not indicum (apart from distribution)?

I know it at this site; I have submitted a record from here.
The fertile fronds and the auriculate base of the fronds differentiate it, as does habitat to some extent.

Fair enough. So are you not able to do the confirming of the record yourself? It would be easier if you just confirmed things you are sure of, rather than leaving others to scratch their heads needlessly over them!
