Hey all, newb here. Can someone please identify this plant? I've scoured my resources and can't fully narrow it down. Seems some kind of fern, but I really like the narrowleaves, but fullness of it. Thanks in advance!

The M. p. sp. Needle variety can also grow at the tips like the M. p. sp. trident... There is an M. p. sp. narrow and also M. sp Taiwain when very young and small they are easily mixed up but as a mature plant both become considerably larger with tad wider leaves.

The distinct difference the others don't show is the needle grows very dense/compact curly rhizomes.

But since they all are slow growers it might take some time to get closer to ID them. :)

 
Here are some additional pictures of Microsorum bunches I took at that time. This could help for identification purposes for anyone coming across these plants:
