Adiantum madagascariense

A maidenhair endemic to Madagascar, known from about 37 wild records at 30–670 m. Almost nothing on its ecology is published, so the targets come from the measured climate at its sites and the habits of tropical forest Adiantum. The sites have a wet summer and a much drier winter.
