RE: Elaphoglossum

Don't actually collect them, but have seen several.  They all seem
awfully touchy when it comes to cultural requirements, and the ones I've
seen on offer have been quite dear in price...

Does anyone collect this genus?

Researchers are looking at the section Squamipedia and would like
samples. This
section is characterized by peg-like aerophores on the rhizome next to
the
frond base. Here is a photo:
