Adiantum camptorachis

Adiantum camptorachis is an Andean maidenhair described in 2011 from Bolivia and northern Argentina. The records come from high, seasonally dry valleys, often around 3,000 m, with cold, dry winters and a mild, wet summer. It needs cool nights and a real winter rest.

Recorded from about 1,030 to 3,200 m, median 3,200 m (few records).
