I am an amateur botanist working on the fern and lycophyte florulas of Santa Catarina Island and the Furnas River Reserve, in southern Brazil.

Pleopeltis remota
I found this growing on the ground in the terrace of Esteban Dominguez's home in Urrao, Antioquia, Colombia. It has a conspicuously winged petiole.
Can you also find this growing on trees? Could it be a hemiepiphyte or hemilithophyte?
Maybe. I”ve only found it once. I’ll try to find it again.
