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!
Hi Michael,
The adaxial surface of the segments looks convex, which doesn’t fit with Gleichenia microphylla from Australia (type locality) or NZ. But, unfortunately, I don’t know enough about Gleichenia outside Australasia to offer an alternative.
Leon, that is very interesting. Thanks for pointing that out! If I make progress on this I will let you know.
