Adiantum aneitense

A Melanesian maidenhair that ranges from the Moluccas through New Guinea to the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. It is named for Aneityum in Vanuatu. Most records come from montane forest in New Guinea at about 2,100 m, so it is a cool, constantly humid grower rather than a lowland tropical fern.
