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!
Woah that’s really exciting! I saw these little dudes often in Monteverde and Nectandra, but had no idea who they were!
Glad these photos helped Alexandria! Isn’t this an amazing fern?
