About the Author
Michael Sundue
My field work is centered in Colombia, and Papua New Guinea. I am based at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (E). If you have any ferns that you want identified, please send them to me!
Are those “extra-floral nectaries” [I know, this term makes no sense for ferns]??? I had never noticed them in Saccoloma! Nice specific epithet, btw…
