These photos document observations by Susan Fawcett and I to document the primary-hemiepiphytic habit of Pleopeltis bradeorum. We found juvenile sporophytes starting as epiphytes on tree trunks. Maturing sporophytes develop two types of roots: short clasping-roots that seem to serve primarily to help adhere to the plant to the phorophyte, and elongate feeder-roots that descend to the ground.
