Microsorium scandens is the one I know of - though it doesn't always
have the fragrance.  For the New Zealand version (aka Phymatosorus
scandens) which looks identical to the Oz version - I coudn't detect any
fragrance in the specimens I 'sniffed'.  The  M. scandens that grows in
the Blue Mountains near Sydney I can smell consistently.  It has a faint
smell a little like a cheap soap perfume.

But my nasal powers are variable - I can't smell Fresias, for example (a
genetic quirk).
