I believe this is Dennstaedtia globulifera but may be mistaken — IDs are welcome!

About the Author

I am a postdoc at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. I am interested in fern and lycophyte diversity, especially in the American tropics.
Is there any probability that it is some Saccoloma species?
Hi Ran — no, I don’t believe this to be a Saccoloma, but I agree: it is an odd Dennstaedtia!
The rhizome morphology excludes globulifera as a possibility. I am going to put cornuta for now until someone else has a better idea.
