This is a cluster of round or cup-shaped "fuzzy" fern nodes at the top of the stem, that look like they have veins. The last vertical photo shows the upright stem and individual leaves in the cluster. This odd shaped cluster looks like some examples in the Lesquereaux plates but haven't found similar illustrations or photos.

It looks like fern shaped leaves at the bottom of the stem and the fuzzy fronds are clustered at the top which is also the tip of the sprig.

Any ideas what this might be? Thanks!

My best (and only) guess is some species of Rhodea.
