About the Author

This fern was growing in the coastal vegetation, just a few meters away from the beach. Note the white wax on the stipes, rachises, and abaxial surface of the leaves. I have seen herbarium material, especially from the Andes, with yellow wax.[gallery link="file"...

We need photos of every Elaph on this site. Can we do that?

  Sure thing, Miguel! I will post everything I have here, poco a poco. Too bad I was not with my “ring flash” in Costa Rica. So many beautiful species; photographs not so pretty… We should go back… Anyways, I think that all Elaph pictures should also go to the “Elaphoglossum pages” eventually. But I rather organize them all here first.
