Wow! So this is what the subtropical Gymnocarpium looks like! Very nice!!! I don’t know this genus very well, but this species looks very unusual in its laminar cutting and elongated sori. The leaf texture and rhizome habit look more familiar though. Did you notice if it had a swollen node at the junction of basal pinnae with rachis?
Yes it does!
Sweet! And nice shots!
