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!
Do you know if this species occurs in Vietnam? I just filed a specimen from there under Lemmaphyllum microphyllum, but it looked exactly like your plant. I should check that again…
The two species can be deceptively similar indeed. Check the presence of stellate hairs to confirm Pyrrosia (just one is enough).
