Adiantum rondonii

A maidenhair from central-west Brazil (Mato Grosso and Goiás), in the cerrado region. It was named from the Rondon Telegraph Commission collections. The region has a harsh dry season, so it most likely survives in gallery or seasonal forest where shade and soil moisture persist.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes are available for the native-range records. In the cerrado, maidenhairs grow in gallery forest and moist seasonal forest; that is assumed here.

The measured sites are at 240-740 m.
