P. bifurcatum usually has broader fronds, there are others such as P. coronarium..

Maybe this fits Platycerium alcicorne better .. a lot seems to depend on the shape of the broader 'bracts' or whatever they are called.

I checked all the suggested species which google gave me, P. alcicorne comes closest.
