Adiantum monosorum

A bipinnate maidenhair with dark stipes and rachises from the Philippines, Sulawesi, the Moluccas and the Solomon Islands. Herbarium notes place it on the floor and on boulders and wet rock walls of lowland to lower montane rain forest, so it wants steady warmth, shade and humidity all year.
