Adiantum roborowskii
A small maidenhair fern of central and western China, reaching into Qinghai, recorded from about 800 m to over 3600 m. Little is published about it in English, so this profile rests on the measured climate and on how related Chinese maidenhairs grow: shaded, moist rock and slope habitats with a cold, dry winter.
Where it grows wild
Recorded from shaded slopes and rocky ground in central and southwest China. Like related Chinese Adiantum, it most likely grows on moist, shaded banks, rock crevices and forest margins, often on limestone. This is inferred from the genus, not from a published description.
Records span 800–3674 m. The median of 800 m comes from only 9 records with an elevation, so the species probably reaches much cooler montane sites than the measured lowland points suggest.
