A reply:
"Well I agree it is one or 'tother! - and though hard to see, some bits of
rhizome do look long. But really it is very nearly impossible to see as the
collector must soak and expand such a specimen before pressing it - all
curled up means all hidden.
Could he please soak a fertile leaf out in water and photo the sori, then
we can easily know, Lepisorus - a single line of separate, rather large sori
on each side of the midrib; Pyrrosia lanceolata or adnascens, a mass of
close small sori towards the frond apex, not in separate lines.
We need to see that, and I can agree that it could be either species in
this curled-up state.
Please let us know about that!?
Chris F.-J."
Thanks, Dr. Chris.
