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