Notogrammitis angustifolia is a species of fern. It is found in Chile, Argentina, Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.[2]
It can be distinguished by the usually erect to short-creeping rhizome, the narrow, linear, winged, glabrous fronds (<7 mm wide, up to 130mm in length),[3] the lack of distinct stipes, the absence of hairs in the sori, and sori often being more or less parallel to the midrib.[2] The sporangia are in groups on either side of the midrib.[3]
The fronds are up to 130mm in length according to some sources,[3] but less than 100mm according to others.[4]

This species is found from sea level up to 1400m in New Zealand, and on the main islands as well as the outlying islands. [2] It can be epiphytic, lithophytic,[5] or found as a subalpine scrub.[3]
