Adiantum dissimulatum

A Jamaican endemic maidenhair described by Jenman, known from very few collections. Nothing is published on its ecology, so its care is inferred from Jamaica's climate and from other Caribbean maidenhairs of shaded, moist ground.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes specific to this species were found; like most tropical maidenhairs it is assumed to grow on shaded, moist forest floors, banks and rocks. Jamaican maidenhairs are commonly found on shaded limestone banks and in wooded gullies.

No record carries an elevation.
