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!
Hey Michael – nice!
I think this plant should perhaps be treated in Austrolycopodium (as Austrolycopodium (P. Beauv.) Holub) as it looks like Lycopodium is otherwise rendered paraphyletic, according to my trees.
Thanks Wes! I will transfer this species from Lycopodium to Austrolycopodium.
