| Marsupidium setulosum (Acrobolbaceae) |
|
Marsupidium setulosum is a moderately uncommon
rainforest species which mostly grows epiphytically. The pale green
leaves (particularly when dry) have a slight fold and are mildly
lobed. In that respect M. setulosum resembles
Acrobolbus cinerascens. The latter species is smaller and
usually slightly deeper green. The whitish bristle-like
protuberances (papillae) on the stem of M. setulosum also
distinguishes it from all other Acrobolbaceae.
