Kidney fern (Trichomanes reniforme) is a filmy fern species native to New Zealand. It commonly grows on the forest floor of open native bush. Indivudual kidney-shaped ferns stand about 5-10 cm tall. They shrivel when they dry out, but open up again when moisture returns. In the Māori language they are also called Raurenga.
