   This is a Serpocaulon (Polypodiaceae), maybe S. fraxinifolium. I don’t know which members of this genus are in Brazil, but I know that S. fraxinifolium is there and looks like this.

   Thank you a lot wtesto!
   There are 9 species of Serpocaulon in the Rio de janeiro state according to the ‘Floa do Brasil’ and Serpocaulon fraxinifolium is amongst them.
   I’ell try to find photo material on the web for the other species.
   Thanks! 🙂

   I agree with Weston, Myryam: Serpocaulon fraxinifolium (Jacq.) A.R. Sm.
   Best to both, and thanks for mentioning my works in the other post, Weston! 🙂

   Hi all, mmm I think that S. fraxinifolium from Brazil, is S. polystichum, also found in Bolivia to Colombia. S. fraxinifolium does not have patent scales in the rhizome. This will be solved soon.

   Cheers,

   David

   Thanks for the comment David. I am familiar with S. polystichum from Bolivia. Please let us know when you have settled the taxonomy on this and I will update the post.
