Blechnum NZ Fern.

Blechnum novae-zelandiae, commonly known as palm-leaf fern or kiokio, is a species of fern found in New Zealand. It can often be found growing in clay soil on embankments and roadsides The red colouring in the leaves is a chemical called anthocyanin. It lives in soft young leaves and is like a sunscreen for plants! It helps with photosynthesis, where the plant uses the sunâ€™s energy to feed itself. As the leaves get older and harden up, they will replace the anthocyanin with chlorophyll which is green and better at using sunshine.
