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!
This is a really amazing fern! Never have seen like this in Gleicheniaceae.
Now that is a cool Sticherus! Can’t believe I didn’t see it when I was there 🙁
