About the Author
Michael Sundue
My field work is centered in Colombia, and Papua New Guinea. I am based at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (E). If you have any ferns that you want identified, please send them to me!
Amazing pictures! This species very closes to D. riparium. Sometimes I could hardly distinguish one from another.
Thanks for mentioning that. Do you think they are synonymous? Diplazium donianum and D. bantamense are two others that I have considered. If you decide it might be something else, please let me know.
