Roy Vail's Platycerium Photos

We have scanned the photos from Roy Vail's book, Platyceriums, plus additional photos from Roy Vail's collection.  These are Roy Vail's original photos he donated to the Los Angeles International Fern Society.  In 1980 when Roy's book was published, technology was lacking and printing photo detail was poor.  Today we present them with 2015 technology.  Enjoy!

About Roy Vail's photos and how they are organized.  When the photo is related to a specific Fig image in his book, that is how they are listed.  If there is no Fig number, but he identifies the species, they are listed alphabetically.  Then there are another 100 photos with no notes, they are listed numerically as Photo 1 ... Photo 99.

The images below are thumbnail images and if you click on the image you will see a larger image.
