    I'm thinking that this is Sphaeropteris quindiunenesis which I guess has now been reclassified to Cyathea. It had the characteristic "cup" shaped sporophytes under the leaves, and was growing in Mindo, Ecuador. I'm guessing it's about 100 years old.

    Any clues, guys? Am I way off on left base?

    Thanks.
