Leptopteris superba, commonly called Prince of Wales feathers or common crape fern, is a fern in the genus Leptopteris. It can be found in both New Zealand and Australia. It is characterized by having large fronds (around a meter in length) with large sporangia on their undersides. The shape of the fronds is elliptical (similar to that of Ostrich Fern). It grows from wet lowlands to montane forests.
