Nephrolepis brownii

#187 They called me Nephrolepis brownii, also known as Aspidium schkuhrii, and Nephrodium brownii. I pay homage to the male botanists Schkuhr (I couldn’t find his records), and Robert Brown, Clair Alan Brown, Nicholas Edward Brown, Addison Brown, Andrew Phillip Brown, or William Brown. They first catalogued me in 2005.
