Adiantum juxtapositum

A rarely recorded maidenhair described by Ching in 1957 from south-eastern China. Records come from Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and Hubei, including the red-sandstone Danxia landscape of Renhua. It has a cool winter and needs a seasonal rhythm.

Where it grows wild

Labels give only localities. Several, such as Danxia Mountain, lie in red-sandstone cliff country, so it may grow on shaded, moist rock. This is inferred rather than recorded.

Few records carry an elevation. One gives 478 m, and the climate site is at 181 m.
