Aurélien Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yes, the famous M. megalophylla. I remember I had a talk about this plant a few years ago with Christian Klein and Andreas Wistuba, when they came at Nancy BG for the EEE that we organized in 2013. None knew this beautifull fern! We have nice specimens at Nancy's greenhouses. I'll send some pictures later. I'm happy to see it here, because it's not often cited as a myrmecophyte, albeit it have pronnonced curved rhizome, like Lecanopteris mirabilis. I'm quite surprised that I never talk about it here.

Derrick Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 M. megalophylla. "A New Species of Microgramma (Polypodiaceae) from Brazil and Recircumscription of the Genus Based on Phylogenetic Evidence. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/40211932. Alexandre Salino , Thais Elias Almeida , Alan R. Smith , Adrianna Navarro Gómez , Hans-Peter Kreier and Harald Schneider, Systematic Botany,Vol. 33, No. 4 (Oct. - Dec., 2008), pp. 630-635. This re-circumscription of the genus includes Solanopteris and has also found that Microgramma bifrons (that some still think is a Solanopteris) is sister species to Microgramma lycopodioides. Surely incontrovertible evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
