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.

Anemia gardneri is another narrow endemic species from the inselbergs of southeastern Brazil. It can be easily recognized by its coriaceous leaves with few pairs of orbiculate lateral pinnae, and apex subconform. [gallery link="file" columns="2"...
