Alsophila glaberrima, synonym Cyathea glaberrima, is a species of tree fern endemic to the D'Entrecasteaux Islands, specifically Fergusson Island and Goodenough Island, where it grows in mossy forest at an altitude of 900m-1400mm (3,000feet-4,600feetm). The trunk is erect and usually about 2m (07feet) tall. Fronds may be bi- or tripinnate, are 1m-2mm (03feet-07feetm) in length, and form a dense crown. The stipe is finely warty and bears numerous glossy scales with fragile edges. Sori are produced close to the fertile pinnule midvein. They are protected by small, dark brown indusia that are scale-like in appearance.
