They soon die when the
leaves fall from crown, and
case of Vittaria they persist
in stunted condition on
N side.
Poly. circum is a moss.
Grows well enough
on tops of horizontal limbs,
where the moisture falls
directly on it.
In deep swamps Vittaria
may grow all down
trunks of palm, Jussie,
as often when growing
in water or deeper shade
the sporlings grow very
freely.
Poly. Phyllitidis, all I have
seen of it, grows at bases
of old trees.
