Description & ecology
Herbarium-XRF ΣREE ~1,290 µg/g in a Queensland Herbarium screen of Blechnaceae/Gleicheniaceae (Remigio et al. 2025, preprint).
Flagged hypothesized: single preprint measurement, only modestly above the ~1,000 µg/g ΣREE convention, not yet peer-reviewed or independently confirmed.
