2x Gt Grandfather is said to have died as a result of chopping down a Burrawang fern. His death certificate states 'Vegetable poisoning in a wound' 'By certificate of Elizabeth Walker, widow.' He (John Walker) died 1874 at Kangaroo Valley. It all sounds a bit suspicious to me. I found there is a Burragorang fern but cannot find a reference to a Burrawang fern. Any horticulturalists suggest what this plant might be or give a description? I imagine it growing in profusion and John Walker was clearing the land when he sustained his 'wound'. Any suggestions appreciated. Sue
