Family: Stemonitaceae Could be either S.splendens or S. axifera
turtlesandtombstones, thanks for the ID suggestion. But, I need to be sure of the species. As I've mentioned S.splendens looks so very much like S.axifera and the latter is common. Before I accept your suggestion, I would like some supporting documentation, please. Thanks.
