I am an amateur botanist working on the fern and lycophyte florulas of Santa Catarina Island and the Furnas River Reserve, in southern Brazil.
Hey Nate, did you take a picture of that house in Urubici with a wall made of Dicksonia trunks? That was…let’s say, curious… It would be nice to have a picture here.
I had an image of it but I don’t know where it is. I’ll look. I think the house is just outside of São Joaquim.
