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!

Didymoglossum reptans
I had previous identified this as T. bucinatum, but I am no longer confident that species is distinct from D. reptans.
How to distinguish this species with D. pinnatifidum? Because these two species sometimes confuses me. Several specimens labeled the latter in herbarium PE I think should be actually D. atirrense. I found the scales of them of little difference.
