About the Author

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!
Are the rhizome scales toothed or entire?
It looks a lot like Elaphoglossum latifolium to me.
A perfectly reasonable idea, but weirdly that species is not known from the region. Are you familiar with Elaphoglossum longicrure Christ? Its pretty similar and has been frequently collected there.
Yes, I know it. I think that is a somewhat smaller plant than this one appears to be.
