Hemidictyum marginatum

by | Jan 6, 2014 | Ferns, New Collections, PNN Las Orquideas | 2 comments

Hemidictyum marginatum is characterized by elongate sori each with a single lateral indusium and anastomosing veins with a submarginal collecting vein. The large 1-pinnate leaves and pinnae with clasping bases are also characteristic. Formerly often considered to be closely related to Diplazium and the other Athyrioid ferns, molecular evidence supports Hemidictyum as sister to the Aspleniaceae.

    Another family. Great. The map is not loading when I look at the post. Maybe it will work if you change the coordinates to decimal form (6.639083, -76.208361).
