Photo of Apoglossum ruscifolium
The species is 1-8 cm tall and consists of one layer of cells, except for the midrib which is polystromatic. The blade has a conspicuous midrib and microscopic veins. New blades can be developing from the midrib on both sides of the primary blade. The species can be separated from the very similar Hypoglossum hypoglossoides by the presence of the microscopic veins.  Photo: © Vivian HusaTerms of use
