Adiantum moranii

Adiantum ×moranii is a natural hybrid maidenhair described by J. Prado in 2005 from northern and northeastern Brazil. Almost nothing is published on its habitat beyond a steep forested hillside on the Rio Purus, so these conditions are inferred from lowland Amazonian Adiantum.

Where it grows wild

Known from very few collections; one comes from a steep hillside near Lábrea on the Rio Purus in Amazonas. It is probably a terrestrial fern of the lowland forest floor, as its likely parents are.

Lowland; the Amazonian collection is below 100 m. No elevations are recorded.
