Adiantum ailaoshanense

A natural hybrid maidenhair (Adiantum ×ailaoshanense) described in 2015 from the Ailao Shan mountains of Yunnan, China. There are no wild GBIF records and almost nothing published beyond the original description, so this profile generalises from the subtropical montane forests of south-central China. Treat every target here as an educated guess.
