Adiantum rectangulare

A Brazilian maidenhair described by Lindman in 1903, known from the Northeast and West-Central regions. Its one GBIF record lies in a strongly seasonal savanna (cerrado) climate with a rainless winter, so in the wild it most likely grows in shaded, moister spots such as gallery forest. Very little is published about it.
