Maria dB, thanks for nice comment
I always try to take all pictures of in the ratio of my fingers, but not all of them can be treated as such, generally ran away :)

This might be the same one, but the ID has a "?"...

Should be Aspidimorpha, there is a historical misspelling.
I am sceptic about Aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis. In that one there are extension of the golden part underneath, which is not shown in yours. Please, verify.

Very nice series; showing the hand with the leaf gives a good idea of its size!
