Adiantum braunii

Adiantum braunii is a maidenhair fern of Mexico and Central America, reaching Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. Most records come from Mexican uplands around 1,500 m, where a warm, dry spring gives way to a wet summer. It wants shade, mild nights and a humid wet season, with a somewhat drier, cooler winter.
