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!
Very nice – the medial position of the sori is killer for this hybrid.
Is this the plant from Duffy’s Swamp?
No, this is the plant that Art Gilman showed us.
Beautiful hybrid! Very rare in nature, I presume. By the way, do you know if David still has copies of “Henry Potter’s field guide to the hybrid ferns of NE”? I would like to buy one…
They are available from the Tryon Pteridophyte Library http://www.uvm.edu/~plantbio/pringle/Libraries.html
Thanks for the link! I will buy it tonight. That website is amazing, btw… I loved that photo of the Tryons in their early days. I also enjoyed reading about Cyrus Pringle (what a beard!) and the profiles of important collections at VT.
